Overview

The aim of the Diploma of Arts is to provide you with an opportunity to study a set of introductory units in the humanities and the arts disciplines. Successful completion of the course means gaining a recognised qualification. It also means guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Arts. You will explore disciplines at the introductory level that study the way humans recognise, record and debate human practices, meanings and values. This will aid you in developing knowledge of the human condition and of how society operates. You will have the opportunity to gain crucial lifelong learning and transferable generic skills, such as critical thinking and problem-solving. You will be able to apply these skills to a range of employment opportunities and life situations.
