The Diploma of International Studies is available to students from any Faculty in the University or students who meet UTAS general entry requirements. The course is intended to provide students with the opportunity to undertake units from a diverse range of disciplines that have an international focus. Where feasible, students may choose to undertake the Diploma concurrently with their Bachelor degree.

It is anticipated that completion of the Diploma, particularly in conjunction with a Bachelor degree, will be useful for students pursuing careers within international business, law, politics, travel and tourism, journalism and the media.
