Community engagement
Our public visitors are just as important as our students. We host a range of events and activities for members of the general community to come and experience humanities, arts and social sciences on campus and continue their life-long learning:
Diploma in Arts (DipArts)
UQ's Diploma in Arts is available to graduates of a Bachelor program in any field of study. Students enrolling in the Diploma are required to complete one major or two minors. It is a flexible program that allows students to complete arts courses in a new area of study in order to gain additional qualifications. Upon completion and subject to satisfactory performance and entry requirements, this program may enable students eligibility for entry into Honours, to postgraduate coursework and, via Honours, entry to research postgraduate study. The Diploma in Arts is a commonwealth supported (HECS-Help) program.
Continuing Professional Development
A number of Schools in the Faculty offer professional development courses for a range of groups.
- The Institute of Modern Languages

- School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry
- School of Communication and Arts (aimed toward teachers)
