The PGDipArts is an alternative to the Bachelor of Arts (Honours). This programme might be for you if you want to undertake advanced study without writing a dissertation, if honours degrees aren’t recognised in your country, or if you would like to study part-time over a longer period. You can use a completed PGDipArts with a GPA of 5.0 or higher as an entry qualification for the one-year Master of Arts. History History gives you an insight into the forces that have shaped our world and ourselves. You can study different cultures, regions, themes and time periods to gain an appreciation of the lives and experiences of people in the past. You can also understand how societies have changed over time. Study opportunities include New Zealand history, Māori and indigenous histories, pre-modern and modern Europe, American history and the histories of Asia, Australia and the Pacific. Where can History take you? Our graduates have careers in government, museums, the public service, business, teaching and libraries, and as researchers with the Waitangi Tribunal, Office of Treaty Settlements, and Manatū Taonga/Ministry for Culture and Heritage. Others have continued their study of history at institutions such as Harvard University and the University of Oxford.
