During your degree you can specialise in at least one major and one minor from a large list of areas of study.
Students are also able to take elective courses in other areas of study from within the Faculty of Arts or from other Faculty areas within the University, such as Health Sciences or Commerce.
The BA offers the opportunity to learn one (or more) of eight languages, irrespective of a student's previous language study.
Students who wish to further their cultural skills and broaden their experiences can choose to study overseas for one or two semesters with one of more than 100 partner institutions around the world.
Alternatively, students may wish to study one or more of a variety of short Study Abroad courses.
BA students with a suitable grade point average are also able to take part in an internship in which they gain valuable work experience relevant to their career goals, build networks, and manage a research project for an industry partner in the media, environment, parliament or the arts.
Other benefits of studying the degree include regular career and employment forums and mentoring programs that run throughout the year.
