Overview

The Bachelor of Arts is an induction into diverse ways of knowing in the Humanities, Creative Arts, and Social Sciences, providing the student with the critical ability to analyse perspectives, claims, experiences and evidence. It is a versatile program offering a range of studies across a broad knowledge spectrum and supports students to utilise judgement and to adapt skills and knowledge in different contexts. The BA affords opportunities to pursue one’s own interests in depth whilst adding career-oriented breadth, with a view to simultaneously developing capacities of critical and complex thinking and communication and professional skills.

This course offers conceptual, theoretical and practical development in a range of Arts disciplines and fields of study within the context of issues that prevail in Australia now. It draws on the strengths of fully supported learning at each year level, developed through Learning and Teaching research over many years.
