The PGDipArts serves as an alternative pathway to the Bachelor of Arts (Honours). This program offers extensive Arts subject options, with the potential to incorporate a dissertation. It's ideal if you seek advanced studies without a dissertation requirement, if your country doesn't recognise honours degrees, or if you prefer part-time study over an extended duration. A completed PGDipArts with a 5.0 GPA or above qualifies you for the one-year Master of Arts program. Criminology explores diverse viewpoints and approaches to criminal justice in New Zealand and globally. You can pursue postgraduate coursework and independent research in fields including: Criminological theory, Penology, State crime, Human rights law, Social deviance, Youth crime, and Cybercrime.
You need to have completed an undergraduate degree at a recognised university (or similar institution) in a similar discipline to your intended subject. You will require a GPE of 3.5.
