Objectives of the Bachelor of Letters degree

Once students graduate from an undergraduate course their need for access to further undergraduate studies does not necessarily cease. University selection regulations have disadvantaged graduates applying to take a second undergraduate degree, and as a result the Bachelor of Letters (BLitt) degree has been developed. The degree is available only to applicants who have already completed an undergraduate degree, and allows them to undertake a new specialisation at an undergraduate level over a relatively short period of time and receive recognition of this in terms of a formal qualification. The degree will normally take two years of full-time study to complete and will make available to candidates the full range of arts disciplines and interdisciplinary programs taught by departments/centres in the Faculty of Arts. Part-time studies are also available. Interested applicants should contact the undergraduate office (Arts) for an application form.
