Graduate Certificate in Arts

The general Graduate Certificate in Arts is a non-tagged general Certificate where students may enrol in subjects offered by a variety of Arts departments. The Graduate Certificate in Arts will be predominantly a 'stand-alone' qualification although it may also articulate with a Graduate Diploma. The Diploma may then provide a pathway to two-year coursework masters programs. The general Graduate Certificate also provides an exit award for students who do not complete the full requirements of the Graduate Diploma in Arts.
