Overview

If you want to shape a better world, you need to understand global developments and their impact on individuals and communities. In the Bachelor of Arts, you will examine people, cultures, ideas, societies, and study how to investigate complex issues, challenge assumptions and explore why change happens.

You will learn from internationally recognised experts across a range of areas including genocide and human rights, human thought and global ethics, sex discrimination and feminism, colonisation and Indigenous rights, class and revolution, and societal happiness and anxiety. Along the way, you will build valuable skills in research, critical thinking, communication and problem-solving.

You can shape this degree around your unique interests and goals. This course structure supports you to develop expertise in your chosen major, whilst giving you the flexibility to broaden your studies or specialise further through a second , a , or subjects.

When you graduate, you will have the flexibility and adaptability to apply your knowledge across a wide range of industries and respond to an evolving world and workforce.

See the for more information.

Beginning from Country, you will explore the complex ways that people, communities and places are connected at local, national and global levels. You will exercise curiosity, creativity and scientific reasoning to understand how theory, evidence and analysis can be applied to real-world issues to bring about change.

As you progress through the degree, you will learn how different disciplines approach complex social, cultural, political and environmental challenges. You will be guided through diverse perspectives, including Indigenous, historical, literary, legal, philosophical, political, sociological and environmental, to examine topics such as power, protest, justice, inequality, displacement and belonging. 

Throughout your studies, you will develop a depth of knowledge in your chosen major that will complement the breadth of your wider learning, giving you the ability to evaluate evidence, consider multiple perspectives and communicate ideas across diverse audiences.

You will also develop practical capabilities in research, digital literacy and professional communication. You will apply these skills through simulations, research projects and capstone experiences that respond to regional, national and global concerns, developing your confidence for tackling complex, ever-shifting problems. 

You can also take advantage of opportunities such as internships and global experiences to expand your professional networks, gain industry insight and broaden your perspective. By graduation, you will be equipped to adapt to change, contribute meaningfully to your community and apply your skills across a diverse range of industries and career pathways.
