Why study Bachelor of Arts?

The Bachelor of Arts is a flexible degree that allows students to match their academic interests with their career goals to create the ideal course. Arts provides a set of general, portable and lasting skills vital to any career, such as the ability to research an issue, present an argument, analyse information, communicate clearly and relate well to people. There are no compulsory units. Students choose from a wide selection of studies and complete at least one major, one minor and a first-year sequence in arts. Elective units, or a second major, may be chosen from arts or an approved area taught by another faculty.
