Diploma in Arts in Education

University of Canterbury

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. Learning is something we do every day. It happens in more places than the classroom like community settings, the workplace, art, sport, and even gaming. Studying Education will give you the knowledge to understand how human development and learning are shaped by the history and context of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the opportunities and challenges we face in designing inclusive and effective educational experiences for everyone. If you wish to study to become a registered teacher, check out our Teacher Education qualifications. Study Involve: Study topics like child and adolescent development, and social and cultural studies in education. Education can be studied as a major or a minor and combined with many different degrees, so you are able to study Education alongside your other subject interests.
