Bachelor of Arts (Australian Studies)

Keen to explore complex matters of social justice, gender, and human rights? Specifically as they relate to Australia? Australian Studies explores Australia's past, present, and future, touching on topics like cultural diversity, Indigenous experience, and the environment.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Arts (Australian Studies) has a strong focus on teamwork, collaboration, and community-based internships. You will:

• learn about the intersecting futures of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians
• gain a deeper understanding of Australia's identity by examining social and cultural practices
• consider Indigenous, migrant and refugee perspectives
• develop intercultural competencies and advanced skills for interacting with people from diverse cultural backgrounds

In addition to Australian Studies, our Bachelor of Arts program allows you to explore other interests by taking a minor (or another major) in a different discipline area. You can choose elective courses from the broadest range of study areas in the Arts in South Australia.

Where could it take you?

You will graduate with all the tools needed to effect positive social change in Australia. You'll have qualifications for rewarding roles in NGOs, Indigenous and refugee agencies, and government. You could pursue a career in TV, teaching, or tourism. Perhaps you'll become a household name as a journalist.
