If you are wanting to study Arts subjects at university, the one-year Diploma in Arts (DipArts) is a great option without having to complete a full three-year bachelor's degree. It also allows you to take Arts courses of interest to add onto your studies in other areas. Study Involve: Choose from a wide range of Arts subjects and courses at any level. Complete a compulsory course on foundational arts skills of academic writing, analysing evidence, or bicultural identity. This Diploma can be studied full-time in 1 year, or part-time for up to 6 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your completed courses to that degree. Studying the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome shows us how our modern world formed. Everything from western politics to philosophy, science to architecture, language to storytelling had their origins in these great civilisations, and there are even connections we can make to current events today that have been experienced in the past. At UC, you can customise your Classics studies with topics that interest you, such as art and architecture, politics, drama and written works, ancient language, and even sociology and daily life of the people. Study Involve: You will get hands-on experience with real ancient artefacts through UC’s Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities, based at Te Matatiki Toi Ora, Arts Centre, with a collection spanning more than 2,500 years from about 2,000 BCE. Courses include areas such as history, slavery, sex and gender, warfare, art and architecture, political leaders, ancient literature, and philosophy. Option in your final year to take an internship, with past projects including museum and art curatorship work, events management, social media, and research of artefacts.
