Arts and Humanities courses include subjects like Anthropology, Philosophy, Literature, History, Languages, Creative Arts, Media, Communications, Theology and Religion. Other courses such as social science also focus broadly on humanities albeit taking a more scientific approach.
Humanities courses focus on human culture, context and achievement. This encompasses large tracts of history and a wide range of subject areas, examining the many different ways in which humans have sought and continue to seek to understand and express themselves.
Arts degree courses tend to attract students that may have a wide variety of interests and those that may wish to avoid focusing on a particular specialty until they explore further study options.
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
At undergraduate level many subjects would be studied within the Bachelor of Arts, an extremely flexible course that allows you to study courses from a variety of different subject areas, and to build a degree that’s unique to your specific interests, academic strengths and future career goals.
Those studying a BA Arts degree usually choose three to four subjects for the first year and then specialise in 2 subjects for the remainder of the degree.
