The Diploma of Arts program offers students a pathway into diverse specialist and interdisciplinary thematic areas including communications, text and digital media; society and culture; digital and global humanities; Indigenous governance and policy; contemporary Indigenous Australian languages and linguistics; digital and creative arts; music, production and performance; and architectural design. As a student, your journey through this program will also develop core communication, critical and creative thinking skills to prepare you to participate in a multi-disciplinary and global workforce.

The Diploma of Arts is ideal for anyone who wants a taste of studying arts and would like to gain a qualification but may not be ready to commit to a full bachelor's degree.

Graduating from this course may lead to career opportunities in areas such as land councils, museums, research, training, diplomacy, advisor, communications, media, or consultancy particularly where these organisations engage with central and northern Australia and Asia.
