About this course

The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) is a fourth-year program that serves as a prelude to a higher degree in research or to professional practice in a range of careers that entail advanced research work.

With half the program dedicated to a thesis-based experience of independent research conducted professionally, the program prepares individuals for professional or research work in the disciplinary field of their preference. It provides training in methodology, research skills and theoretical inquiry.

This Humanities stream enables students to choose to study Media and Screen Studies, Literature, Creative Writing, Philosophy, History or Indigenous Studies. The major project can be a traditional thesis or, for Creative Writing students, a practice-driven thesis consisting of creative work and an exegesis.
