Course Details

BA(Bachelor of Arts)

Course Description

There is a reason why the BA is so internationally popular. It is because of our innate curiosity about who we are and where we come from – the big questions. When you study for a BA, you are investigating the history and development of humankind and their expression in the creative arts. You will learn how humanity thinks, feels and acts, and how the past shapes our present and our future. The BA gives you the freedom to design a degree with an arts base that combines subjects you feel passionate about with those that broaden your career options. A BA is prized by employers and students because it is a flexible degree yet teaches specific skills. You will develop analytical abilities, research experience, strong written and verbal communication skills, and a broader perspective on the world and its various cultures.
