Diploma in Arts

Broaden your worldview and start your university studies with our Diploma in Arts. It’s a great way to try different subjects and prepare yourself for further study.

Interested in communication studies, education, hospitality, language and culture, M?ori and indigenous development, or social sciences? Our Diploma in Arts is perfect if you’re not entirely sure what to expect from uni or missed out on getting into your dream degree.
You’ll take the same courses as our first-year bachelor’s degree students, and study in a supportive environment with additional academic and student support. Once you’ve completed your diploma you can then move into Year 2 of our Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Communication Studies or Bachelor of International Hospitality Management, which means you can still complete your chosen bachelor’s degree in three years.

You’ll become familiar with different concepts related to culture and society, or communication studies, and improve your academic knowledge and study skills to give you the confidence for further study.

The courses you study are from the first year of the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Communication Studies or Bachelor of International Hospitality Management. After you’ve completed this diploma, you can then cross-credit your courses and transfer to the second year of your chosen bachelor’s degree.

Your Diploma in Arts courses can help you decide which subjects you might like to focus on later once you move into our bachelor’s degree. We'll work with you to help you identify where you want to go and which Diploma in Arts courses will help you get there.
