FOCUS ON THE BACHELOR OF ARTS

Considering studying a Bachelor of Arts in the future? The Bachelor of Arts is an excellent choice of degree for students and one of the most popular choices in the country. The degree offers flexibility for students and majors/minors can cover areas such as science, economics, visual arts, IT, languages, humanities, media, communications, and design etc. The following are two excellent Bachelor of Arts programs to consider.

 

1) Bachelor of Arts (Professional), Swinburne University: This course offers 18 majors, 28 co-majors from other faculties and 42 minors. Students are guaranteed one-year of paid industry experience as part of the degree, and it will take 4-years full time to complete the course. Applicants will need to achieve an ATAR of approximately 80 to be considered for admission. This could rise for the 2020 intake, http://bit.ly/1UTb3pZ

 

2) Bachelor of Arts, Monash University: The Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee (GIG) is a ground-breaking new initiative – a guaranteed two-week overseas study experience for all first year Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Global Studies students, with the cost of airfares, accommodation and local travel covered as part of the program. This is the first initiative of its kind in Australia.

 

WHAT: Students will study the impact of the global movement of people and goods on environmental sustainability. They will:

  • Work with partner organisations in areas like food and water security, conservation, urbanisation and eco-tourism
  • Investigate the impact of regional economic sectors on the local environment, global supply chains and environmental sustainability
  • Visit historical and cultural sites, as well as Monash-led programs in the destination country.

 

WHEN: The immersion experience runs between November and February as an intensive summer semester, and students will earn credit towards their degree.

 

WHO: Open to all students who have successfully completed one semester of their Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Global Studies single or double degree and are in good academic standing.

 

WHERE: Either Prato (Italy), Monash Malaysia, or Indonesia.

 

WHY: Spending time in another culture challenges students to broaden their thinking, inspires them to approach problems more creatively, and opens their eyes to different perspectives. These are all skills that are vital for students entering a globally focused workforce.

 

Offered as an intensive, focused, and funded program, the GIG is an accessible way for students to experience international learning as part of their degree.
