Arts

Overview

Study your way with the Bachelor of Arts online or via blended learning – to get the skills you need, wherever you want to take your career. Build a foundation then specialise: choose from 13 specialisations, including creative arts, performing arts, humanities pathway to teaching and sociology subjects.

We’re changing the game when it comes to learning that works for you. Year one, you can choose to study online or combine on-campus and online study. You’ll make connections with your peers and academics who are passionate about sharing their expertise. Plus, we’ll keep the timetable compact so you can fit everything in. As you move into your second and third years, you’ll study more online as you start to specialise. The course changes as you learn more.  

Will you get a solid grounding in fundamental theory and practice? Of course. That’s what your first year is all about. You will build on a solid foundation in humanities disciplines in first year to mix and match the areas of specialisation in second and third year that align with your career goals.

We worked with many organisations to develop this course – to ensure it hits the mark for the future workplace. That’s why you’ll get to study employability skills subjects, gaining the aptitudes that are important in any career. Things like communication, cultural awareness and critical thinking. These are the human-centric skills that employers want.

Career opportunities

• Be adaptable in the workplace by choosing to combine professional areas from our 11 specialisations. Bring psychology and teaching together, sociology and justice studies, or integrate history with writing and publishing. You’ll be exactly what employers are looking for.
• You can link your Bachelor of Arts to a master’s to prepare for a particular career. For instance, if you choose the Humanities Pathway to Teaching specialisation, you can link this to the Master of Teaching and become a primary or secondary school teacher within a similar timeframe as a traditional teaching bachelor’s degree - but graduating with a master’s qualification.
• You will gain transferable skills that will make you stand out in the workplace – wherever you want to take your career. This Arts program from Charles Sturt University is a new wave of learning, which will give you the knowledge to think outside the square and take your career to the next level.
