Depth
Developing a specialisation
The New Generation Bachelor of Arts
degree is designed to give you disciplinespecific
knowledge and develop new ways
of thinking by exposing you to a diverse
range of perspectives. To complement the
principles of the Melbourne Model, we have
developed a range of eight new first-year
interdisciplinary foundation subjects that
draw on a variety of different areas of study
within Arts.
Our new interdisciplinary foundation
subjects will enable you to explore core
ideas across our vast range of disciplines
in your first year, assisting you in making
an informed decision regarding your
specialisation or study major at secondand
third-year level. Through studying Arts
interdisciplinary foundation subjects you will
be part of a common first-year Arts learning
community and benefit from our interactive
online learning environment, forums and
discussion groups.

Breadth
Developing knowledge across
disciplines
The breadth component of a Melbourne
BA means that students need to study a
quarter of their degree (six subjects, a total
of 75 points) outside the core program
and outside the Faculty of Arts. While
an Arts degree guarantees an in-depth
understanding of your chosen discipline,
the breadth component ensures a wider
breadth of understanding. Breadth subjects
will enable you to tap other bodies of
knowledge and methods of enquiry, and to
develop personal and professional skills.
