General information
Status
Full-time
The Bachelor of Arts course requires three years of full-time
study, during which time twenty semester subjects or
equivalent in full-year subjects must be passed.
Part-time
Many students undertake their courses by part-time study.
This would usually take five years, but the time may vary
according to the study time available to the student.
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, synthesize 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.
