Diploma in Arts in Music

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. The music industry has changed a lot in the last 30 years with the explosion of digital technology and changes in society and culture. This has opened up new job possibilities for music professionals, alongside teaching, conducting, leadership, and performing. At UC, we have a number of ways you can follow your interest in Music. Study Involve: With a Bachelor of Music you can major in Composition, Performance, Music Studies, or Creative Music Technologies. You can study Music as a major or minor in other degrees.
