Overview

Bachelor of Arts

With La Trobe University's flexible Bachelor of Arts, you can choose from an incredible array of majors and minors after you start your study. 

You'll have access to around 50 majors and minors from humanities, social sciences, business, health and science, keeping your career options open.

You'll choose one art major, then explore your interests or build an essential skill when you select secondary majors, minors and electives from across the university. 

You'll graduate with your primary major on your academic transcript so future employers can recognise your expertise.

In your first year, you'll explore your interests and passions. Try a language, or get a taste for history, English, politics or creative writing. 

In your second and third years, you'll delve deeper while choosing electives and minors that broaden your skills and knowledge. 

You may also develop professional skillsets in psychology, public health, marketing, science, and sport management.

Gain real-world experience and build valuable connections that will shape your career.
