im a 3rd year student doing a bachelor of commerce/science and lately ive been contemplating whether to do the diploma in languages majoring in chinese.
is enrolling next year too late? or should i just wait til i fully finish and graduate before i apply? Cos i know if im doing it, most courses are separated into sem 1 and sem 2, so if i want to start chinese ill prob have to wait til next year, which will be the 4th and last year of my degree (com/sci is only a 4 year degree).
has anyone done this before, cos most people ive read enrolled in first or 2nd year...
i know with the majors i'm doing, most people are thinking why didn't you do com/arts. because at first i wasn't planning to be a uni for 5 years when i could do it with 4 years with a com/sci degree, and was planning to do a language course outside of uni when i finish, at a community college or tafe. but now it seem like doing at uni seems more defined and structured compared to the other courses out there, even though its more expensive.
if i don't do a dip languages, what type of similar courses are out there that people recommend?
Also checked that macquarie also offers a dip lang but the difference between mac and unsw is that unsw is 42units, and mac is 24units so the unsw is more learning.
i personally already know a bit of writing chinese, i learnt traditional chinese when i was small so i basically know how to read, i speak cantonese, i just wanted to perfect my mandarin, and a dip in languages seems to be a better qualification than courses taken from a college.
