The Arts are the study of humanity: our history, beliefs, society, language, and culture. They ask questions about how we think, how we communicate, and how we interact with our environment. They teach us to analyse the meaning behind what we are, what we do, and how we came to be that way.

With a Bachelor of Arts you can study what you enjoy. The BA is extremely flexible, with only one compulsory paper. You can explore a wide range of subjects, and major in the subject where you have discovered a real passion. The option of a minor allows further flexibility for you to follow varied interests.

There are a variety of ways you can structure your BA. While you'll need in-depth knowledge of at least one major subject, if you find you are equally passionate about two subjects you can complete a double major. You can also fulfil the requirements for a minor in one or two subjects. You are permitted to incorporate papers from many other disciplines, including some from outside the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The BA can be a stepping-off point for any number of disciplines and careers. Employers appreciate this flexibility. They also appreciate the ability of BA graduates to reason, research, analyse, criticise, communicate, and think laterally.

China has emerged as a major player in the Asia-Pacific region and the world. New Zealand looks increasingly towards the Chinese-speaking world in overseas relations and trade. New Zealand is a multicultural society and home to a substantial number of ethnic Chinese, for whom Chinese is their first language.

By focusing on skills in oral and written Chinese, you can take language papers from beginner to advanced levels. Alongside the language papers are a variety of cultural papers which examine topics such as Chinese history, society, and film. Cultural papers do not require any knowledge of the Chinese language.

Students can study Chinese in combination with other disciplines relevant to New Zealand's relations with the Chinese-speaking world, such as business or social work.

Speakers of Chinese dialects are welcome to enrol in the programme for serious study of Modern Standard Chinese. Native speakers of Chinese intending to major or minor in Chinese must consult the Programme Coordinator before enrolling to discuss the appropriate selection of language papers for the major or minor.
