Diploma in Arts in Anthropology

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. If you are interested in the history of our existence, languages and cultures, identity, and religion, then Anthropology is for you. At UC, you will learn about our collective history, and explore future issues like the evolving role of technology in our lives, power structures and systemic issues, and where our global culture might be heading. Study Involve: Study topics that challenge your current way of thinking, and get you thinking deeply about the topic. Get hands-on experience with real ancient artefacts through UC's Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities, based at Te Matatiki Toi Ora, Arts Centre of Christchurch, with a collection spanning more than 2,500 years from about 2,000 BCE. Get involved on campus through clubs and advocacy. Combine your interests with other studies by adding Anthropology to many UC bachelor’s degrees.
