Faculty of Arts

Our Faculty has excelled in teaching and researching arts, humanities and social sciences for almost a century.

With almost 100 years of excellence, we are committed to the pursuit of intellectual inquiry and advancement of knowledge in the arts, humanities and social sciences, and we continue to recruit staff and train students whose knowledge and skills benefit local, national and international communities.

The Faculty of Arts provides a rich intellectual environment for both domestic and international students who are enrolled in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Arts degrees.

There are three schools within the Faculty; the School of Humanities, the School of Social Sciences and the School of Music.

The humanities deal with histories, literatures and cultures of all areas of human civilisation. The social sciences study sociology and anthropology, political behaviours and other forms of human behaviour and organisation. Music specialises in performance, composition, music education and musicology.French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Ancient Greek and Latin are also taught in the Faculty.

The Faculty hosts a number of Research Centres and Institutes that are led by researchers who are world leaders in their fields. 

We like to keep in contact with our Arts graduates and many have achieved very successful careers. Some of these success stories are featured in the Arts Humanities and Social Sciences Alumni Graduate profiles.

It is also important for us to have a strong connection with the community and so the Faculty of Arts offers a range of programs and activities to the Community in order promote a greater understanding of arts.
