The BA gives you the freedom to follow your interests and study the subjects you love. You can choose from a wide range of study possibilities that cater for many different interests or career goals.

 

Your BA study can develop the knowledge and skills you need to future-proof your career. Capabilities such as communication and creative thinking will keep your options open for different opportunities in the fast-changing world of work. You can further extend your skill set for future careers through one or two of our optional, theme-based modules.

 

Your double major will give your degree a strong focus and deepen your knowledge and skills. You have the flexibility to explore different subjects before you choose your two majors.

 

The BA is made up of 24 courses across 3 years of full-time study (360 points/24 courses).

 

You are required to select two BA subjects as your two majors.
 

The broad structure of the programme is:

• Eight courses in your chosen first major (120 points)
• Eight courses in your chosen second major (120 points)
• One General Education courses (15 points)
• One Waipapa Taumata Rau core course (15 points)
• Six elective courses (90 points)
• Up to two (30 points) of these can be from outside of the BA schedule from other faculties such as Science.

 

You can take one or two optional modules instead of elective courses. A module is a group of three courses (45 points) focusing on a specific skill or knowledge to benefit or inform future careers.
