Diploma in Arts
You can complete the Diploma in Arts with or without an endorsement in a subject area. Completing the diploma without endorsement lets you sample different subjects and build a qualification that reflects your own particular interests.
If you want to take an endorsement, you can choose from 25 subjects from the Bachelor of Arts degree, and major in the one that sparks your passion.
Massey’s Diploma in Arts is extremely flexible and you can include courses from many disciplines, including some from outside the humanities.
