Overview

Turn your passion into a career with a degree that's as flexible as you need it to be. 

The Bachelor of Arts enables critical and creative thinking as well as community engagement. Choose majors and minors from more than 20 diverse subject areas covering humanities and social sciences; creative arts; secondary school teaching; sciences and vocationally-oriented majors such as law, tourism and psychology.

Students can choose to complete a professional placement to build contacts and apply aspects of their degree to the workplace.

This degree fosters the transferrable skills so valued by employers today – qualities such as communication, analysis, critical thinking and problem solving. Graduates also develop cultural awareness and a deeper understanding of how to build their creative capacities towards positive outcomes.

Exciting career opportunities exist in community relations, media, cultural policy, management and administration, publishing, public service, multimedia design, creative and cultural industries, politics, social justice and human rights, and education.

Course Learning Outcome

In the Bachelor of Arts, students can undertake learning opportunities in the community through a number of units as well as through assessment opportunities.
