The Faculty of Arts is proud to offer programs that are diverse, dynamic and distinct, and that enable students to follow their passions to many career paths. Students emerge from their studies with skills in communication, creative and critical thinking, decision-making and research that are sought after by employers. University of Adelaide graduates pursue fulfilling careers in today’s evolving job market. For students who have strong interests in more than one discipline, undertaking a double degree makes it possible to study additional topics. Most double degrees can be completed in four years and students graduate with two parchments.

There are many areas to investigate when studying the arts, humanities and social sciences.

Anthropology

Using new and challenging perspectives, Anthropology studies the diversity of humanity, culture, identity and the different ways communities live.

Art History and

Visual Culture**

Art History and Visual Culture offers a dynamic and inspiring concentration of courses that explore the making, meaning, reception, and consumption of historical and contemporary images and objects. Investigation of both high art and popular culture from global and multicultural perspectives enables the development of sophisticated levels of visual literacy in the areas of visual analysis, critical thinking, and persuasive communication skills.

Asian Studies

Asian Studies offers insight into the beliefs, ideas and social, political and economic structures that shape Asian countries and society. The discipline explores aspects of modern Asia’s history, culture, literature, economics, trade and business.

Classics

The cultures, societies, religions, literatures and political ideas of ancient Greece and Rome have left potent legacies. Classics students develop analytical research skills while learning about aspects of archaeology, history, art, thought, literature, society and politics from the birth of civilisation.

Creative Writing

Students gain a practical introduction to creative writing, and learn ways to begin and develop a sustained and reﬂective writing practice that includes revising and editing. Students can become more proficient and versatile writers.

Criminology

Criminology is the study of crime and deviance as a social phenomenon. It aims to understand why people commit crimes and the social responses to it, including attempts at control.

Development Studies

Development Studies explores issues related to poverty reduction and sustainable development with a focus on the developing world. Students debate the determinants of economic growth, the causes of civil war, the

nature of ‘good governance’, the sources of environmental sustainability, the links between gender and development, and the effectiveness of aid.

Economics*

Economics students learn how the economy works in the context of global economic forces and how governments deal with issues such as unemployment, international trade and taxation.

English

English students learn how to think and write critically about great literature and other communication forms, such as film, TV, books, plays, poetry, manuscripts, digital media and magazines. Students delve into past and present literary and filmic works and hone research, communicative and interpretive skills that will serve them in their future academic and professional lives.

Gender Studies and

Social Analysis

Gender Studies and Social Analysis investigates the ways in which women and men understand gender. Students consider the different ways rewards and difficulties of work are experienced (in Australia and elsewhere in the world), and explore pop culture, such as fashion and television. In addition, the gendered experiences of health, sexuality, relationships and youth in the workforce are examined.

Geography, Environment

and Population

Geography, Environment and Population students learn how to analyse environmental processes and the human interaction within them at local and global levels. Questions posed include how can, and should, the world cope with an ever expanding population? How will climate change impact the planet and its people over the coming decades? How will humanity respond to the challenges of food security, biodiversity loss and water management? What should future cities, towns and rural landscapes be like?

Art, Humanities,

Social Sciences and Teaching

Programs within the Faculty of Arts provide

students with an appreciation of, and perspective

on, the world and the extraordinary richness,

complexity and connection between human

culture, civilisation, and the earth’s environment,

geography and natural resources.

(4)

History

History students are able to immerse themselves in events from Australia and around the globe and study the impact of warfare, conﬂict, film, migration, slavery, colonialism and commodity production, political movements, religion and the law on the world.

Indigenous Knowledges

and Society

Indigenous Knowledges and Society offers practical and theoretical appreciation of Indigenous worldviews. The discipline explores issues of concern to Indigenous peoples, including culture, language, the environment, history and politics. Students will understand and communicate the significance and value of first-nation knowledge systems in a changing world.

International Business*

Students gain knowledge of, and a foundation in, business and can focus on specialised areas of international management and international marketing.

Languages

Language students gain language skills and understanding of the cultural heritage of the societies that communicate in their chosen language of study. Courses include Chinese Studies, French Studies, German Studies, Indonesian Studies, Italian Studies, Japanese Studies, Modern Greek Studies and Spanish Studies.

Linguistics

Students of linguistics examine the role of language in human communication, and analyse different forms of language and communication. They learn about the role of Australia’s linguistic heritage and the importance of preserving linguistic diversity.

Management*

Management is the process of administering and coordinating an organisation’s resources efficiently and effectively in an effort to achieve goals. Management students develop the skills required to successfully manage changes in work structures, process and product technologies, employment relations and organisational culture.

Marketing*

Marketing students investigate the role of marketing within and between organisations. They gain a grounding in marketing theory, learn how to prepare marketing reports and plans, undertake a diagnostic case study of an exporting firm, analyse advertisements in a variety of media, and apply market research as part of a group project that focuses on a real business problem.

Media

Media students explore the dynamic and creative role of media in contemporary society. Students can tailor the program to an area of interest in media research, analysis or production. Additionally, students develop skills in media writing, journalism, and media technology use, which see them well placed to pursue a range of career opportunities.

Music Studies

Develop an understanding of music from different genres around the world in its social and performative contexts. Learn about the history of music analysis with a focus on music research and skills.

Philosophy

What is the nature of reality? What is knowledge? Should euthanasia be permitted? Can society’s opinion about the value of morality and art – be objectively justified, and if so, how? Philosophy aims to resolve such questions using debate, reasoning and critical thinking. By choosing this discipline, students can join the great philosophers throughout the ages in the love of wisdom that is philosophy.

Politics and

International Studies

Politics students explore the ins and outs of political decision-making, justice and democracy. They learn about Australian politics and public policy, the politics of other countries, and the relations between them. They have the chance to debate the burning issues in domestic and international governance as great powers rise and changing societies produce new political problems.

Students analyse the domestic and global politics of these emerging powers, the social and political impact of rising powers, as well as their impact on global and regional governance. In addition, the stream includes courses that explore Australia’s

engagement with the international order, and particularly examines the domestic political implications of Australia’s engagement with the Indo-Pacific region.

International Security explores the nature of security, conﬂict and intervention in global politics. It investigates contending theoretical perspectives on international conﬂict, violence and war on human populations. Courses within the stream focus on the role of strategic culture in defining interests, intelligence, the impact of globilisation on changing forms of security and violence, and the increasing level of human insecurity. Other areas of focus include non-military, cross-border issues that impact on human security including environmental degradation and change, migration and trade. Global Governance and Justice explores the role of international institutions and regimes in the governance of complex issues. It pays particular attention to how governance is now increasingly complex, involving non-state actors such as credit rating agencies and/or private security firms. It also focuses on new forms of governance at the national, regional and global levels dealing with cross-border issues such as the environment, migration and finance.

The comprehensive array of electives on offer will reinforce these different streams of our program.

Why study the Bachelor of Languages?

The Bachelor of Languages is for committed language students and is designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop proficiency in one or more languages as well as an enhanced knowledge of the culture(s) in which the language they are studying is spoken.

Students who complete the program will therefore develop a heightened awareness of language as a system and of its role in society, as well as a greater appreciation of cultural diversity and of cultural difference.

Study abroad and exchange opportunities

The University has student exchange links with over 100 overseas institutions. You can study overseas for one or two semesters which count as credit towards your degree program at the University of Adelaide. In addition there are no extra tuition fees for this study. This provides a way to enhance your intercultural competencies or use your newly developed language skills as you learn.

Program structure

This degree offers a ﬂexible mix of prescribed study and elective courses. The compulsory component comprises one major, supplemented by two courses in a cognate field, forming an “extended” major; and one minor in another language or in Linguistics. The minor is a minimum requirement - you are free to use two of your elective choices to compile a second major if you wish.

All languages offer different streams catering for students who have studied the language to Year 12 level (or equivalent), but also for anyone wanting to start learning a language from scratch.

As a student of the Bachelor of Languages you will have the opportunity to spend at least one semester studying in a country where the language chosen for your major is spoken. With partners in all the relevant countries, this opportunity will boost language proficiency and develop understanding of another culture.

Background speakers who wish to study their native language should consult the relevant language discipline for advice prior to application.

Areas of specialisation

The languages available for study are:

>Chinese Studies >French Studies >German Studies >Indonesian Studies >Italian Studies >Japanese Studies

>Modern Greek Studies

>Spanish Studies

You may also minor in Linguistics, or choose from a list of approved Asian Studies/European Studies courses where extra cognate courses are not prescribed by your language major.

Potential careers

The ability to communicate in another language is an asset in a range of occupations and industries such as interpreter/translator, linguist, public servant, foreign affairs, government officer, tutor, humanitarian/aid worker. It’s a valuable addition to other professional interests, but it’s also a great asset in its own right!

Concurrent degrees

The Bachelor of Languages may also be combined with most other degrees offered by the University of Adelaide. Students considering any concurrent combinations, are strongly encouraged to contact the Faculty of Arts office for more detailed information before lodging an application.
