Bachelor of Arts (Major: Liberal Arts)

f you have broad academic interests you should consider this varied and thought-provoking degree. Completed in three years of full-time study, our Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Liberal Arts ranges from classical Greek, Latin and Hebrew to European history, philosophy, applied science and English Literature. This combination of scientific studies and traditional arts disciplines will prepare you for a range of future careers – from teaching to social policy research.

Why study this degree?

Students at the earliest European universities undertook an eclectic range of courses, often combining scientific, legal and arts subjects in a single degree. At The University of Notre Dame Australia, we have brought this concept of a broadly based classical arts degree into the 21st Century.

Our Liberal Arts Major brings together subjects as diverse as Latin, Cosmology, Mathematics, Psychology and Creative Writing, allowing you to follow several academic interests during your undergraduate years, rather than pick one stream.

By covering such a broad range of subjects you will be able to develop a high level of critical thinking and an appreciation of quite distinct academic disciplines. Liberal Arts can be studied as a single major or combined with another stream of study, such as Journalism, Politics & International Relations, Social Justice or Sociology, as part of a double major. Graduates may pursue a diverse range of career options, such as education, social policy research and administration.
