The aim of the Bachelor of Arts is to provide you with a multidisciplinary education that will allow you the opportunity to gain knowledge in a range of humanities and social science disciplines. You will have the opportunity to explore traditional Arts disciplines as well as engaging with an elective major that facilitates the study of units outside these subject areas. You will experience a variety of perspectives, methodologies and learning styles. You will explore disciplines that study the way humans recognise, record and debate human practices, meanings and values. You will think deeply in the arenas of humanities and social sciences and you will take steps to prepare yourself for the world of work. You will have the opportunity to gain crucial lifelong learning and transferable generic skills, such as critical thinking and problem solving. You will learn to apply these skills to a range of employment opportunities and life situations.
The skills and knowledge which students acquire from undertaking the Bachelor of Arts are transferrable across a wide range of industries and professions. The life-long skills include: creative thinking, critical reading, critical thinking, effective writing and communication skills, developing clear and cogent arguments, research, data analysis, understanding intercultural relationships, social justice, cultural heritage and environmental planning. These generic skill sets from the BA are regarded highly by Graduate Recruitment Companies who recruit university graduates for government departments and various large companies, and by Employers in general. There are a wide variety of job types that BA graduates move into. Some of the more common career options are: government agencies, administration, publishing houses, environmental planning and management, media, journalism, libraries, museums, galleries, not-for-profit organisations, private companies, teaching, town councils, disability services, community sector organisations, youth worker and universities.

The English & Cultural Studies major brings together two distinct but complementary disciplinary approaches: literary studies, where literature is read for its own sake and for the values it reveals in stories, poems and plays about our lived and imaginary experiences; and cultural studies, where ideas and concepts derived from a broad study of culture are explored through a variety of texts including film, media, television, advertising and the like. You will be able to demonstrate advanced reading and writing skills while applying critical thinking and advanced modes of textual analysis to a broad range of texts, genres and media. You will communicate using cogent, discipline-based and context-relevant research and participate, both self-reflexively and ethically, in discipline critical debates.
