Overview

The Diploma of Arts provides students with an opportunity to explore a humanities or social sciences discipline at an introductory level, preparing them for employment in a range of fields, or further study. Successful completion of the course provides guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Arts at CQUniversity.

During your education and training students will explore disciplines that study the way humans recognise, record and debate human practices, meanings and values. This will aid them in developing a contemporary understanding of both the human condition and how society operates.

Students will have the opportunity to gain crucial lifelong learning and transferable generic skills, such as critical thinking and problem solving, and they will be able to apply these skills to a range of employment opportunities and life situations. Find out more about the Diploma of Arts.
