The Graduate Certificate in Arts (Specialisation) is designed to enable graduates to undertake postgraduate coursework study in one of a range of Humanities specialisations. The course develops students' analytic, technical and research skills and graduates will have advanced knowledge and skills for professional or highly skilled work and/or further learning. This on-campus, one semester full-time (or, up to 2 consecutive years part-time) course is available at Hobart and/or Launceston (not all specialisations are available on both campuses). Some units will be available by off-campus study, but not in sufficient numbers at this stage to complete the degree in this mode. The following specialisations are available within the GradCertArts(Spec): Aboriginal Studies Asian Studies Chinese Classical and Medieval Studies English (Creative Writing*) English French German History Indonesian Japanese Sociology *English (Creative Writing) may also be offered in Cradle Coast Campus, subject to sufficient numbers of students.

Arts graduates find jobs in, for example, advertising, journalism, the arts, diplomacy, interpreting and tourism, management and administration, and research and publishing.
