About this course

You will apply advanced theory and research methods to social and cultural issues of local and global significance to become an independent, critical and reflective thinker. Working closely with an academic supervisor, you will develop valuable skills in designing and managing independent projects in your area of interest and, by the end of the course, you will be equipped with advanced research, analytical and communication skills that will prepare you for entry to higher degree research, such as a Master of Arts or PhD, or other professional careers.

    Graduates with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree find jobs in, for example: advertising, journalism, radio and television; arts administration, heritage and curatorial positions; diplomacy, interpreting and tourism; management, marketing and administration; politics, the public service, the police force and the armed forces; research and publishing; social welfare and community work, or go onto academic careers.
