What will I learn?

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. German is spoken by 130 million people all over the world. Through its authors, philosophers, composers, painters, and scientists, German-speaking Europe has helped shaped history for the past 800 years. There are lots of opportunities to use this language professionally, as Germany has the 4th largest economy in the world and is a key player in international trade and relations. Study Involve: Become an expert in German language, as well as in the history and culture of German-speaking countries, including Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and Liechtenstein. Access to exchange programmes with the University of Konstanz and the University of Freiburg. UC hosts the National Centre for Research on Europe (NCRE), the only research centre for the study of Europe and the EU in Aotearoa. You can study German within a range of different bachelor’s degrees, or you can also add a certificate or diploma in German language alongside your other studies.
