Diploma of Arts & Creative Industries

The Diploma of Arts and Creative Industries has two stages. Stage 1 is a pre-university level program consisting of eight units studied over two or three trimesters, intended for students who do not yet meet Stage 2 entry requirements. Stage 2 has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree.

Upon completion of the Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of the corresponding Curtin University Bachelor's degree program, meaning the diploma is equivalent to the first year of a Curtin University degree.
