Diploma of Science
A Diploma is a 12-month course that gives you the foundational skills and knowledge in a specific stream. A Diploma of Science will take you straight into the Second Year of your Bachelor of Science at UNSW.
It is a great option for you as an international student if you need a bit more support but don't want to add extra time to your degree. If you have just missed out on direct entry into your preferred bachelor's degree, or hold qualifications that are not recognised by UNSW Sydney, this could also be the program for you.
