Bachelor of Arts (Advanced)

Take yourself further

Curious about a wide range of ideas and issues? High-achieving? Articulate? The Bachelor of Arts (Advanced) is a distinctive degree for inquisitive students who want to excel.

As a member of a small but distinctive community within the wider University, you'll work to take your knowledge and skills to a higher level. You will:

• take a set of courses specifically designed for high-achieving students
• research and write a major independent research project on a topic of your choice

• attend exclusive events such as guest presentations, workshops, seminars, industry talks and social gatherings
• have significant input into the design and running of the Arts' advanced program.

You'll also have the flexibility to tailor your degree to suit your career goals. You can choose to extend your abilities in two majors. Or, take just one and complement it with a set of elective courses focused on developing your leadership and citizenship.
