Graduate Diploma in Arts

If you already have a degree and want to take Arts courses, this flexible diploma might just be for you.

• At least 75 points (five courses) must be at Stage III or above.
  
  
• 60 points must be from one of the available majors (subjects), including 45 points at Stage III for that major. Refer to the 'Subjects' page for more information.
  
  
• The programme is equivalent to two semesters of full-time study and must be completed within four years.
  
  
• Postgraduate courses can be included.
  
  
• You might be able to include a dissertation.
