[killer_bot]

hi everybody,

can you do an undergraduate uni course + diploma in languages without extending the time it takes to graduate by 1 year?


thanks

All you have to do is Overload.

what do you mean by "overload"?

Take more than four subjects a semester.

Can you do an undergraduate degree alone in three years, majoring in your field of study as well as majoring in a LOTE?

i.e. not through a DipLanguages.

majoring in a LOTE in 3 years = 6 language units + 2 electives that go towards the language - instead of the 8 language units that the dip lang wants.

ie. im going to major in Chinese by doing 6 lang + 2 electives since I only thought about Chinese this year and will have to start learning the language starting from next year.... and I want my whole course completed in 4 years so I dont really want to extend my time just to do 2 more language units...

so either way, 8 units in total that go towards the specific language

yes if you're doing arts

otherwise, depends on if your chosen faculty will let you take 8 units of subjects which aren't from your home faculty (probably not)

BusEco faculty at Monash allows a cross-faculty major, so you can also do it if you're studying BCom or BEco.
