Knowledge of the Classical World of ancient Greece and Rome is essential if we are to appreciate our own culture and civilisation. The Greeks and Romans had a profound and lasting influence on language and thought, particularly in philosophy, law, politics, art, and architecture. They also created and developed nearly every genre of literature. We are, in the deepest sense, their descendants.

University study of the literature, history, art, and society of the ancient world involves the critical examination of important questions that arise from this heritage. We investigate the way the ancient world reacted to intellectual and physical challenges. Today, many issues first raised in the classical world remain unresolved.

You can structure your major or minor to suit your interests. Study the classics using a Greek or Roman perspective, or combine both to gain a general overview of the classical world. The classical world can be studied from many perspectives: philosophy (some of the greatest philosophers came from this period), Greek or Roman history, mythology, war, religion, art and society, even love and sexuality.

Development Studies is concerned with the understanding and analysis of processes which are transforming people's lives throughout the world. Development Studies seeks to understand differences, examine key development issues and ideas, and introduce skills to help solve development problems.

In Development Studies you study a number of different subjects, enabling you to grasp the complexities involved in understanding the differences countries face in solving development problems.

Three papers form the basis for Development Studies. The first paper introduces you to the field of development studies and forms a basis for the more advanced papers. The two advanced papers examine the nature of development and underdevelopment, and the concepts, processes, practices, and strategies for sustainable development.

We make economic decisions every day, whether we buy that 'must have' item and blow the budget or decide to wait until the item is on sale. The study of Economics can help to improve our decision making. Economics offers a way of thinking about the world that enables us to make the best of what we have yet still improve on it.

Compulsory papers in the major give you a fundamental understanding of Economics. This prepares you for additional papers that engage your interest, including international trade, resource and environmental economics, financial economics, or public policy.

Philosopher John Dewey once wrote, "Education is growth." The field of education is filled with interesting possibilities. Education provides critical analysis of contemporary educational theories, policies, and practices. Theoretical understanding and research skills enhance the way we analyse and bring information together.

Unlike the Bachelor of Education, which is a professional degree, the BA in Education deals with the academic study of Education. It evaluates the content and processes, institutions, contexts, and the setting through which people learn to be members of their societies and cultures. The Education major provides a wide variety of papers covering the main disciplinary approaches to the study of educational policies and practices.

Two papers, An Introduction to Social and Cultural Studies in Education and Human Development I, are compulsory for a major in Education. These two papers form the basis for advanced study in education in the areas of educational history, philosophy, psychology, advanced studies in human development, and education research methods.
