We ready you to solve new and as yet unknown problems. We prepare you for the jobs that didnt exist 10 years ago; and the jobs that have yet to be created.
"Formal writing, research skills and the ability to see the big picture. Youre always thinking critically and looking for connections between different areas. With a BA, you get to develop a lot of skills that can be applied in different contexts."

"In an Arts degree you learn so many transferable skills. Im part of a business-oriented club called Global China Connection (GCC). Im the only Arts student there, but the skills Ive learned still got me in. When you cultivate adaptable skills like thinking outside the box, taking initiative and problem-solving you can apply them to any kind of interest or career.

Rachel Liao,studying towards a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Relations, French, and Chinese
