Arts and Social Sciences

Students in the humanities and social sciences learn a wide range of skills that open up many career opportunities. No other course of study provides you with the same combination of broad intellectual growth, skills development in research and analysis, the ability to communicate effectively and the capacity to think critically about the global environment we live in.

At a time where people increasingly have several career shifts in their lifetime, humanities and social science graduates possess a unique combination of intellectual and analytical skills that can be readily transferred from one occupation to another. Visit www.arts.unsw.edu.au

Important information

UNSW will be reviewing all undergraduate programs in 2011 with a view to simplifying program structures and enhancing academic coherence. This will improve program quality, strengthen academic advisement and enable students to better understand program and course requirements. Prospective 2012 students will be informed of substantive program changes (if any).
