Postgraduate Diploma in Arts - Museums and Cultural Heritage

About the course

The PGDipArts is an alternative to the Bachelor of Arts (Honours). You can choose from a wide range of Arts subjects and may be able to include a dissertation. This programme might be for you if you want to undertake advanced study without writing a dissertation, if honours degrees aren’t recognised in your country, or if you would like to study part-time over a longer period. You can use a completed PGDipArts with a GPA of 5.0 or higher as an entry qualification for the one-year Master of Arts. You can study approaches to museums and heritage globally, with a particular focus on indigenous Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific. Courses in Museums and Cultural History cover topics such as: The history of museums, The politics of culture, Intellectual property, Public art, Curatorial practice, Tourism and heritage, Art writing, Colonialism and Writing history.
