The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) is a fourth-year program that serves as a prelude to a higher degree in research or to professional practice in a range of careers that entail advanced research work.
 
With half the program dedicated to a thesis-based experience of independent research conducted professionally, the program prepares individuals for professional or research work in the disciplinary field of their preference. It provides training in methodology, research skills and theoretical inquiry.
 
This Creative Arts stream enables students to choose to study any discipline within Visual or Performing Arts. The major project is a practice-driven thesis consisting of creative work and an exegesis.
