Arts, community & humanities pathways

If you don’t yet meet the entry requirements to get into your chosen arts, community or humanities course, we'll get you there with our study pathways.

'Pathways' let you build on your learning and progress between study levels – often with credit towards a qualification. They can link courses with similar learning, or they may help you to access tertiary education by teaching you foundational study skills.
