Summary

A DipGrad is one of the most flexible options to study at the University of Otago. Beyond the two core advertising papers, and a MART 300-level paper, you may include papers from any department. It offers students from a diverse range of disciplines the option to select a portfolio of papers to suit the individual ambitions for the creative industries.
