Postgraduate Diploma in Arts
The PGDipArts is an alternative to the Bachelor of Arts (Honours). You can choose from a wide range of Arts subjects and may be able to include a dissertation.
This programme might be for you if you want to undertake advanced study without writing a dissertation, if honours degrees aren’t recognized in your country, or if you would like to study part-time over a longer period.
You can use a completed PGDipArts with a GPA of 5.0 or higher as an entry qualification for the one-year Master of Arts.
