Curtin College Diplomas have two stages
The duration of the Curtin College Diploma is two years. Diploma (Stage 1) and Diploma (Stage 2) are two stages. Your qualifications will determine your starting point.
The Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the comparable Curtin University undergraduate degree, is available to students who have already completed Year 12 (or the equivalent). You will enter the second year of the Curtin University Bachelor’s degree program straight after earning your diploma.
Eight pre-university level subjects are studied across two or three trimesters for the Stage 1 Diploma, which can be completed ahead of time by students who are not eligible to enter the Stage 2 Diploma.
