Studying arts and humanities allows you to gain foundational knowledge in many disciplines. It will equip you with essential broad skills, including critical and creative thinking and effective communication and problem solving, all of which are required for high achievement in a range of careers. If you are a high-achieving and motivated student, the Dean's Scholar option provides you with an enriched educational experience. Each Dean's Scholar has an academic mentor, a member of academic staff who advises the student on matters concerned with the degree. You will: receive an annual book allowance; benefit from your own designated study space; and produce a major self-directed research project as a capstone to your degree. The Bachelor of Arts (Dean's Scholar) degree will teach you new perspectives on approaching ideas and problems. The skills learned are generic in nature so that they are applicable in a vast range of careers and provide a broad-based education with a capacity for lifelong learning. The degree is made up of subjects with origins in the humanities; history, literature, languages and philosophy, and the disciplines of social sciences: cultural studies, sociology and politics. You must elect one major and one minor, or a second major, from the Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts.
