Course overview

Students undertake the Diploma in STEM (Science and the Environment) as an alternative pathway that will prepare them for success in UniSA and UniSA Online's most popular STEM degrees.

The 12-month Diploma in STEM (Science and the Environment) qualification provides a pathway via competitive entry into STEM degrees at UniSA including Environmental Science, Outdoor and Environmental Leadership, and Science.

Kickstart your career by studying a combination of courses that will develop your academic skills, along with up to two first-year courses from your related bachelor's degree. This will give you a real insight into your preferred degree and up to two study credits. Core courses will develop your critical writing and communication skills, and provide foundational knowledge of environmental studies, land management, and science. You'll study in a highly supported learning environment with additional assistance from UniSA College staff. You'll also have direct access to UniSA learning resources, campus facilities and support services.

Upon successful completion of the diploma, you can use your Grade Point Average (GPA) to competitively apply for the degree of your choice. This highly versatile program prepares you for entry into all UniSA degrees*. At the end of your studies, you'll graduate with two qualifications and will be well on your way to that unstoppable career.

*Credit arrangements may differ from program to program, and need to be negotiated upon commencement.

If the student's current English result is below the direct-entry requirement, consider the university's recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package. When the student successfully completes the approved pathway at the required level, the university may accept that pathway for English entry without requiring a new IELTS, TOEFL or PTE result.
