Overview

Bachelor of Arts - Historical and Political Studies

At Edith Cowan University professors developed an Arts course that prepares graduates with the skills needed to adapt to future workforces, whatever they may be.

They have strong critical, creative, practical, and ethical skills that are highly adaptable within the university's increasingly diversified workplaces.

So when you study for a Bachelor of Arts, you’ll experience a dynamic, creative, and critical immersion in culture, history, and politics. 

History and Politics address some of the most important and contentious issues facing humanity. 

In this major, students will examine the ideas, structures, and processes that drive society at both the national and international level.

Clinical or professional work placement option

In the core unit SAH3200 Industry and Community (which is mandatory for all those who enroll in the Bachelor of Arts), students will produce work in the form of a presentation, performance, exhibition, strategic report, or research project that will be driven and assessed by a community and/or industry representative.

Students also have the option to undertake the unit CCA3104 Professional Placement, as an elective, which provides students with an opportunity to undertake a workplace internship.
