Arts & Media

Take your creative talent seriously. If you want to live creatively rather than nine-to-five, the Diploma in Arts and Media is a great way to start. You may exit after year 1 with the certificate in Arts and Media, or continue on to years 2 and 3 of the diploma. This broad introductory programme offers students the opportunity to major in Visual Arts and Design or Creative Writing. (Information about the Contemporary Music major is listed separately.)
