The Bachelor of Arts is the ultimate, flexible university degree, and you can tailor it to explore your interests and discover a wide range of career possibilities. It is an opportunity to pursue what you loved in high school or branch out into areas you've never had the opportunity to explore.
Our students embrace the joy of open enquiry, are curious about life鈥檚 big questions, and are on a life-long quest for knowledge and inspiration. You will hone skills like critical-thinking, research, and inter-cultural awareness under the guidance of passionate academics who are leading researchers in their fields.
You can take on cultural, environmental, and humanitarian challenges from multiple perspectives and gain the confidence to make a positive difference. Through our close relationships with government and industry partners, we will prepare you to start your career with the skills employers want.
The Bachelor of Arts will equip you with a range of specialised and transferable skills that are highly sought after by employers: creative thinking, respect for multiple perspectives, and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
International Relations:
When you study International Relations you will be considering some of the biggest problems in our globalised world. The major in International Relations will give you the tools required to understand and have an impact on current global challenges and opportunities. In the first year you will learn about the vast array of actors, institutions and ideas that shape world politics. In the second and third years you have the opportunity to explore further key areas of global politics like international security and law, human rights, the global politics of China or the international political economy.
Studying international relations will develop your skills in researching and comparing cross-national politics and societies; analysing and evaluating complex systems; and autonomously researching, writing and presenting. These transferable skills will equip you to work in government, private businesses, NGOs, public institutions or wherever solutions to global challenges are sought.
