Department of Philosophy
Graduate Diploma
The Graduate Diploma in Philosophy is a degree especially designed for those who already have an undergraduate degree (in any field, from any recognized institution) and who wish to undertake a short, intensive program of study in philosophy, for their own personal interest, to enhance and update their professional skills and expertise, or as a means of acquiring the philosophical background necessary for pursuing further postgraduate work in philosophy. Students who have undertaken the Graduate Diploma in Philosophy in recent years have had undergraduate degrees in areas as diverse as business, engineering, tourism, commerce, accounting, economics, statistics and psychology.
The Diploma is undertaken over one year of full-time study but can be completed part-time. Students must obtain an aggregate of at least 24 credit points at 200 level or above in Philosophy units, including at least 12 credit points at 300 level. Students who are undertaking the Diploma as further professional training or as a bridge to postgraduate work in philosophy are strongly advised to consult with a member of philosophy staff when compiling their program of units. A grade point average of 3.25 in the Graduate Diploma will qualify students for acceptance into the Honours program in philosophy.
Please note that from Semester 1 2010, all Philosophy units are worth 3 credit points. Students who commenced before 2010 and need less than 3 credit points to reach the 24 credit point threshold for completing the Diploma should consult with the Graduate Diploma convenor, Dr Cynthia Townley (cynthia.townley@mq.edu.au) or the Head of Department, Prof Nicholas Smith (nicholas.smith@mq.edu.au).
