Course highlights

Get the best of both worlds

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.

Build a solid foundation – then specialise

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.

Build your employability from day one

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.
