Key Summary
Introduction
Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (PGDipArts) in Music
The Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (PGDipArts) requires two semesters of full-time study. It entails a structured program of postgraduate coursework and, in some instances, a piece of supervised research that counts for one or two of the required papers. The normal admission requirement is a completed Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in the major of the proposed program.
Graduates are employed in administration, business, education, government, industry and journalism where their advanced knowledge of an academic area, ability to solve problems, research and writing skills are valued. It is also a recognised qualification for admission as a candidate for the Master of Arts (MA) and, if a dissertation is included, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
A world of Music.
At the University of Otago Music program we cover a unique combination of classical music, contemporary rock music, music production and world music. Our focus is on developing and growing each studentโs creativity as a musician. Otagoโs School of Performing Arts has an international reputation and ranking: students learn from leading practitioners and educators.
If you want to develop as a performer, a composer or a songwriter we have papers to suit. We also offer papers that help you discover what makes music work as a language, how it communicates to people today and in the past, and what it means to people in various world cultures including our own.
