Description

The Bachelor of Arts is a general, flexible degree which allows students to match academic interests with career aspriations to create a personalised course progression. Studying humanities will develop general knowledge and specific intellectual skills relating to human though and relations, such as the way we communicate or how the past has affected the present. Social science analyses and explains societies and the relationships of individuals within those societies.

The Bachelor of Business is designed to provide graduates with high-level skills in a range of key business disciplines. It blends a conceptual theoretical framework with practical applications and covers basic discipline material through to more specialised requirements in the selected discipline. Graduates will be well equipped to seek employment in both private and public-sector enterprises.
