Bachelor of Humanities (Honours)

In the Bachelor of Humanities, students read the world’s most influential books, and explore the world’s most exciting ideas in literature, philosophy, history, art, music, political theory, and religion. Humanities students study everything from Plato to Gandhi, from Medieval architecture to the Tao Te Ching, from Italian Opera to contemporary film. The Humanities allow human beings to ask fundamental questions about themselves and the world around them, to define their values and recognise ethical truths, and to express their thoughts and create new works of imagination. The study of the Humanities equips today’s students with an understanding of our cultural heritage, with an awareness of the complexity of human experience, and with the courage to think independently. These are the abilities they need to become tomorrow’s leaders. The Bachelor of Humanities (Honours) is the most comprehensive version of the degree. It is designed for students with the broadest interests and includes the highest number of courses chosen by the College.
