Description

The Bachelor of Letters is a second undergraduate qualification that allows students to explore areas touched on in their undergraduate degree but not studied in depth or to start studying in a completely new area of humanities and social sciences. Candidates can choose from the full range of arts disciplines and interdisciplinary programs taught by schools and centres in the Faculty of Arts.

Outcomes

This course allows students 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.

Structure

This course consists of a compulsory arts major, with additional studies chosen from a variety of arts disciplines.

For information on arts majors and minors refer to the 'Areas of study' section in this Handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2012handbooks/aos/index-byfaculty-arts.html. Note that disciplines offered by other faculties, including psychology, are not available.
