From 2021, commencing students are referred to the Bachelor of Arts (1021).
The Bachelor of Arts degree gives you the freedom to choose majors and minors according to your passions and interests. By doing so, you will develop a unique set of interdisciplinary skills that will set you up for a highly adaptable future across a range of industries. You'll become a creative thinker and clear communicator with a high level of cultural awareness, capable of guiding businesses and organisations through the complexities of modern life.
Work-integrated learning is hard-wired into this degree and you are encouraged to take advantage of extensive industry-relevant experiences such as internships, study tours and other work-integrated learning opportunities.
You'll be prepared for a career across a diverse range of industries, equipped with skills in research, analysis, communication, leadership and critical thinking. You will be a mobile, informed and engaged global citizen, ready to make a difference within any field that you choose. With its emphasis on critical thinking and information literacy, this degree also lays the groundwork for further study in research.
*All majors and minors are taught at the Gold Coast and Nathan campuses except where indicated. Majors can be also taken as minors.
Take control of your time - This degree has intakes in Trimester 1, 2 and 3. So, whenever you're ready to study, we're ready to get you started.
Depending on your major, you may be able to take up overseas learning opportunities through culturally focused courses such as 3610LHS Muslim World Study Tour.
The Bachelor of Arts may be undertaken full-time or part-time at either the Nathan or Gold Coast campus. A full-time student will generally attend 12 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the trimester. Classes are generally scheduled during the day but some are offered during the evening between Monday and Friday.
To be classed as a full-time student, you are required to enrol in a minimum number of credit points each standard study period. The minimum credit points for full-time enrolment in this program is 30 credit points.
Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 are deemed standard study periods. As Trimester 3 is a non-standard study period, continuing students moving from one year to the next will not be required to study during this trimester to be eligible for student income support.
Domestic students who commence in Trimester 3 may be eligible for student income support from the onset of study provided they are enrolled full-time in this study period.
Please refer to the Australian Government website for more details.
Graduates of the Bachelor of Arts have flexible and adaptable skills that are valued in the workplace. Your highly developed skills in critical thinking, leadership, problem-solving and information analysis will be well-suited to a range of workplaces. Your choice of major will influence the direction of your career. There are a diverse range of job opportunities across an array for sectors for Bachelor of Arts graduates.
