Bachelor of Arts
(Community, Culture and Environment)
Why does taking part in ANZAC Day or preserving a piece of rainforest mean different things to different people? What part is played by the media, government, the community, scientists and industries in dealing with our environmental crisis? These are the kinds of questions that the Bachelor of Arts (Community, Culture & Environment) explores.
In this program, you will examine the current, policy-related issues which matter in our culture. You will learn to use a range of research skills, language tools and techniques to analyse your own culture and the ways that it is represented. The degree is interdisciplinary, covering a number of different fields and calling on the skills of a variety of academic staff members.
Critical thinking and effective communication skills are vital to all graduates. Employers want articulate graduates with strong research and analytical abilities; they want employees who ask the right questions. Hands on experience with the latest information technology gives graduates of the Bachelor of Arts (Community, Culture and Environment) an edge.

Honours Program
Honours is a fourth year of study added on to the end of an undergraduate degree. For some students, it gives them an employment advantage in their post University careers. The Honours year also functions in the university curriculum as a bridge between undergraduate study and postgraduate research. It offers a unique opportunity to study a chosen discipline or interdisciplinary area in depth and to undertake a personalised research project working closely with a supervisor who is an established expert in the field of study being undertaken. As an entry point for postgraduate research students, it provides a stimulating and supportive environment in which students formulate ideas, engage in debate, develop research skills and acquire the critical tools that will equip them for a research career.
