The Graduate Diploma will also prepare you to study that subject at postgraduate level, such as the Bachelor of Arts with Honours or the Master of Arts. The GDipArts can be completed in two trimesters when studied full time, or in up to four years if you're studying part time. You don't need to have a Bachelor of Arts to complete a GDipArts—graduates with any undergraduate degree can enrol.Study literature in English from all around the world, including New Zealand, the Pacific, America and India. Explore literature from the Middle Ages to the 21st century and discover different literary categories, like writing for children. You’ll learn to interpret literary texts and to express your understanding effectively. Explore different genres and find out how a work relates to its time, place and readers.

You need a Bachelor’s degree with at least a B average unless stated otherwise in the programme’s minimum general entry requirements. A background in a particular subject area or extensive relevant work experience may be required. Students with equivalent international qualifications from a recognised institution are encouraged to apply. Each application is assessed individually, and entry into postgraduate programmes is at the discretion of the programme director.
