Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science (Extended)

The Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science (Extended) is a four-year degree for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students to undertake studies in an academically and culturally supported environment. The degree will equip you with communication, critical and analytical skills as well as provide you with an opportunity to make connections between in- depth study of a discipline area in humanities and social sciences, and knowledge of culture and practice.

You will begin study with a cohort of students engaged in culturally relevant literacy and mathematics studies and other available units. You will then undertake a major in either Science or Arts, complemented by studies from the other study area. In addition, you will be able to choose from a set of liberal studies units in areas of communication, analytical thinking, ethics, culture, society and global citizenship, scientific inquiry and technological literacy. This degree is your first step towards a career in the arts or sciences, or as preparation for other specialised degrees at the University.

Throughout the degree you will have access to tailored academic support and tutors, mentors through our Mentoring our Brothers and Sisters (MOBS) program. You will also have access to opportunities including internships, study abroad and projects and placements in Community and industry.
