New and extremely popular areas comprise cultural and media studies, gender studies, environmental studies, and nationally focused disciplines such as Australian or Asian studies. A contemporary BA also enables people to study such diverse areas as economics, information technology, or cognitive science. In short, the BA offers the greatest opportunity to access many of the latest areas of knowledge and debate in our community. Of course, BA students do far more than simply access and reiterate information. The striking feature that links all these areas is that they don't privilege a single approach to topics but incorporate discussion, comparison, at times controversy.
Students get the opportunity to join in the dialogue, to teach and learn from each other.
BA disciplines invite people to become engaged in their studies, to participate in and direct their own learning. In many ways, the key step is to plan a program of study that covers personal, academic and possible career interests. Such planning aims to develop complementary abilities including research and communication, individual initiative and teamwork, time and resource management, and ethical and cultural awareness. Design a study program that starts to fulfil your personal, intellectual and career goals. Explore the different theories and debates that have produced and influence today's world.
