The Bachelor of Arts offers both diversity and focus, and builds informed, skilful and critically aware citizens of the world. The course is built around deeply enriching experiences, and via your elective units, offers you four Signature elements through which to develop your unique graduate profile: Global immersion, Intercultural expertise, Professional experience or Innovation capability.

You can choose from local and international internships, professional engagements and entrepreneurial opportunities, and the choice of more than 50 global immersion programs including access to the funded Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee, preparing you to live and work in complex and culturally diverse environments, while building a community of like-minded peers.

You'll develop a rich understanding of human difference and communication, the complexities of social organisation, and humankind's trajectory through the past and into the future.

International studies

Our International studies program brings to life the issues and events that have shaped, and continue to shape our world by exploring the key political, economic and social developments since
1945.
As nations and economies become more integrated, and in order to live and to compete in the international marketplace of products, ideas and knowledge, it is important to understand the ideas and beliefs of our neighbours and trading partners.

Examine how local communities around the world embrace but also challenge aspects of globalisation through four interlocking spheres of the human condition, which we organise into
streams.
