Certificate in Arts in Classics

University of Canterbury

The Certificate in Arts (CertArts) is designed for you to study at university level without having to commit to several years of study. It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Study from a range of subjects which offer field trips, real-world case studies, projects, and more. Complete four standard courses of your choice at 100 and/or 200-level in no more than two subjects. This Certificate can be studied full-time in 6 months or part-time for up to 5 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Diploma in Arts or the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your credits to those degrees. 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.
