The Associate Degree in Arts is a two-year full-time program (or part-time equivalent) that enables students to analyze human culture and behavior through various lenses and historical contexts. This program encourages exploration of contemporary societal challenges while developing skills to contribute to human progress, creative expression, and innovation. Structured for flexibility, this qualification serves as either the foundation for a Bachelor of Arts or as a standalone opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary interests through multiple majors. Students can customize their learning experience by selecting from more than twenty majors and minors available in the Bachelor of Arts program, along with numerous elective options.
In today's world of constant news updates, digital streaming platforms, and influential social media campaigns, media and communication skills are essential across all aspects of modern life.

Our Tasmanian campus serves as the perfect launchpad, with the Media School uniquely positioned alongside prominent media organizations in Hobart. Students gain direct access to industry professionals and facilities while being steps away from government institutions, cultural venues, and Antarctica's scientific hub at Hobart's waterfront.
