Graduate Diploma in Arts

Study a new subject and enhance your career prospects by completing a 120-point GDipArts.

The Graduate Diploma will also prepare you to study that subject at postgraduate level, such as the Bachelor of Arts with Honours or the Master of Arts.

The GDipArts can be completed in two trimesters when studied full time, or in up to four years if you're studying part time.

You don't need to have a Bachelor of Arts to complete a GDipArts—graduates with any undergraduate degree can enrol.
