Bachelor
The Bachelor of Arts (Extended) is a four-year degree for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students to undertake studies in an academically and culturally supported environment. It provides students with an opportunity to make connections between in-depth study of a discipline area in humanities and social sciences, and knowledge of culture and practice.
Offering broad choice across more than 45 subject areas in the humanities and social sciences and access to a full range of subjects from across the University, this degree is your first step towards a career in the arts, or as stepping stone to other specialised degrees at the University.
The degree equips students with excellent communication, critical and analytical skills, with built-in support and academic skills development to ensure your success.
You will begin study with a cohort of students engaged in culturally relevant literacy and mathematics studies and other available units. The first year of the degree is in block mode, on the University's Camperdown campus. In second year, students can choose a major and a minor from our broad choice across the humanities and social sciences, or from the University's shared pool.
As part of this program, you will have access to tailored academic support and tutors, mentors through our Mentoring our Brothers and Sisters (MOBS) program, with a wide-range of course and residential scholarships available. You will also have access to a variety of opportunities available to Bachelor of Arts students including internships, study abroad and projects and placements in Community and industry.
