The Bachelor of Arts degree focuses on how human beings create, recognise and negotiate social meanings and values. It offers students a diverse range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, languages and music.
The Bachelor of Arts is very flexible with a wide choice of degree-specific majors (see below). You do not need to choose your final major(s) until your second year so you can try out two or three different subjects to see which interests you most. You will also have the opportunity to choose a second major from this list or from the majors available in the Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Design or Bachelor of Science.
