Bachelor of Arts

*** This course has been replaced by the Bachelor of Arts WARTS1 from 2018 and applicants should refer to this newly accredited course when applying.

Students enrolled in the BAR will be able to continue to re-enrol however consideration should always be given to transferring to the latest course version.

*** The Bachelor of Arts provides graduates with the ability to understand and study human society.

It develops high levels of written and oral communication skills in the Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines, including History, Literary Studies, Greek, Chinese (Mandarin) and Indonesian Studies, Political Science and Sociology.

It also prepares graduates for research training at honours and postgraduate level and is available for external and internal modes of study.

Combinations of the specialist areas of study provide graduates with distinctive qualifications that lead to interesting and rewarding careers.

The course builds on the University's unique location in northern Australia, adjacent to South-East Asia.

Employment opportunities include federal, State and Territory government, land councils, museums, non-government agencies and the corporate sector, particularly where these organisations engage with central and northern Australia and Asia.
