If you’d like a taste of design or art, then a Diploma in Visual Arts is for you.

It’s a flexible programme of study with lots of choice. You’ll be introduced to the basics of art and design:

• creative thinking
• visual communication
• specialist skills
• critical awareness.

No portfolio is required, just passion.

The Diploma in Visual Arts is made up of eight courses from the first year of our Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Design programmes.

You’ll study with art and design degree students in a range of studio and lecture-based courses. These exciting courses cover everything from critical and contextual studies, to social media, painting, and digital fabrication.
