In this course students can select from over 50 humanities and social sciences subject areas in the Bachelor of Arts component of this combined degree.
Some Arts units of study may require a prior level of knowledge of the subject area. All subject areas (including languages) may, however, be undertaken by complete beginners.

During the final year of the course, students complete a four week clinical placement in an area in which they may choose to specialise in: paediatrics, mental health, high acuity, or clinical nursing.
