Certificate in Arts

The CertArts is not a university preparation programme, but is a good way to try university study.

If you complete the Certificate and don't want to study further, you will still be awarded a formal qualification from The University of Auckland. If you decide you want to continue with university study, you can use the courses you have passed towards the Bachelor of Arts or another degree which is offered at the University.

You can complete the CertArts in one semester of full-time study. There is an option of studying part-time and take as long as you need to complete the programme.

You will choose either one or two BA subjects.

Within these subjects, you will take four BA courses (a total of 60 points).

These courses can all be at Stage I, or a combination of Stages I and II. (To enrol in a Stage II course, you generally need to have first passed two Stage I courses in that subject.)
 

Subjects and courses can be found from the list of BA subjects.

For more information regarding the courses you can take for each subject visit the subject pages.

You can also find out about our subjects in the 2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook.

If you want to transfer to the BA, or you have completed the CertArts and want to begin a BA, you must apply to be admitted. You will need to meet the selection criteria for the BA.

All students should refer to the 2012 Faculty of Arts Undergraduate Handbook.

This handbook tells you about:

• how to apply and enrol (including enrolment in language courses)
• how to plan your programme
• University resources.

Undergraduate Advisers can give you academic advice about their subject. Contact details are on our subject pages.
