Course overview
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is the most popular degree at Flinders University and at most universities around the world. It provides a high quality education suitable for today's society, featuring both depth of study and breadth of knowledge.
The BA's flexibility allows you to either:
- explore in depth a single field of study (up to two-thirds of your topics may be concentrated in a chosen field) or
- range widely and study several different fields of study (the BA allows you to graduate with 1 or 2 majors).
Students graduate with specific skills and knowledge and a range of generic skills, including oral, written, electronic and graphic communication and presentation skills, critical analysis, teamwork and interpersonal skills, management and planning skills and computer literacy.
