About
Undergraduate Certificates were introduced by the Commonwealth Government in 2020 to upskill and retrain Australians through access to short duration qualifications at University level. Undergraduate Certificates will cease to be available from 30th June 2025. This means you must successfully complete your studies by the end of Term 1 2025 for your award to be conferred by 30 June 2025.
The Undergraduate Certificate of Humanities introduces you to the fundamental concepts of critical thinking, media and mass communications, and visual media and communication.
The certificate is equivalent to the first session of an undergraduate degree. If you successfully complete the certificate and meet all entry requirements, you can progress directly into the second session of the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Media and Communications. Alternatively, you can progress to the Diploma of Arts Media and Communications and on successful completion, transition to the second year of selected undergraduate degrees.
