The Bachelor of Arts explores contemporary issues in culture and society. It promotes critical thinking, community engagement and creative practices and provides the scope to build strong intellectual capabilities and a broad knowledge of the liberal arts as well as a deepened understanding through the study of majors.

This degree enables students to pursue major specialisations in the disciplines of art and design, communication and cultural studies, contemporary music, governance and society, history, media studies, psychology and writing, with the freedom to combine these majors with others offered by the University, such as sustainability or Indigenous studies.

Specialist streams (made up of a minimum of four units) are also available for students to pursue languages (currently Chinese) and community engaged learning. Students can also elect to undertake a professional placement to gain experience in the workplace and to establish professional contacts.

In addition to the command of their chosen disciplines, graduates develop cultural awareness, intellectual rigour, critical thinking and communication skills in a way that integrates creative practice and theory. This is ultimately of benefit to the graduate’s future workplace and lifelong learning, whether they choose to work in service to the public, in education, as a writer, or to build their own career in another field.

Majors are available both on campus and by distance education or a combination of both.

Students of the Bachelor of Arts may exit the program early with an Associate Degree of Creative Writing, following successful completion of 16 required units.
