Available to graduates of a bachelor program in any field of study, the Diploma in Arts enables you to acquire greater specialisation in your chosen field or follow a study area you are passionate about. A flexible program, the Diploma in Arts allows you to gain additional qualifications and build knowledge by spending a year (or part-time equivalent) pursuing your area of interest. You may choose to undertake a selection of undergraduate courses in either one or two fields of study, or alternatively, choose 16 units of program electives without undertaking a specific major or minor. The Diploma in Arts cannot be studied as a concurrent diploma and is for Graduate Entry only. Upon completion and subject to satisfactory performance and entry requirements, this program may enable students eligibility for entry into Honours, to postgraduate coursework and, via Honours, entry to research postgraduate study. The Diploma in Arts is a commonwealth supported (HECS-Help) program.

Please note that in some cases it will not be possible to complete the requirements for the Diploma in one year of full time study, and part time enrolment may be required. This is because some majors (for example, languages and music) require sequential study.
