Description Contents Requirements Funding

A Diploma of Arts is a great way to sample a few subjects before embarking on a more specialised degree program at university.

The diploma will give you an introduction to study in the arts and upon completion will allow you to apply for exemptions in other programs.

This diploma is a great entry point to other arts programs that do not have an audition and interview.
