Part-time status

Career opportunities
The course is designed to foster individual student
development, to develop skills and encourage investigation
and enquiry which may be applied to a range of situations.
Arts students learn how to gather, synthesise and assess
information, how to conceptualise issues, and to express
themselves effectively both orally and in writing.
Students may select courses which would be of particular
value in following a career in such fields as: administration,
personnel, publishing, public relations, media or allied
work, and research services, or they may proceed to the
degree of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy.
Graduates, after further study, may gain qualifications to
become, for example, psychologists, librarians, sociologists
or teachers.
