Graduate Diploma in Arts - Pacific Studies

Victoria University of Wellington

The Graduate Diploma will also prepare you to study that subject at postgraduate level, such as the Bachelor of Arts with Honours or the Master of Arts. The GDipArts can be completed in two trimesters when studied full time, or in up to four years if you're studying part time. You don't need to have a Bachelor of Arts to complete a GDipArts-graduates with any undergraduate degree can enrol. Expand your knowledge and understanding of Pacific lands, cultures and languages. You’ll get an introduction to the ideas and work of leading thinkers, political leaders, activists and artists of the islands. Examine the impacts of imperialism and colonialism on Pasifika cultures and gain an understanding of modern Pacific issues. You'll also learn at least one Pacific Island language-Sāmoan, Māori or French.
