What it is	You study how to report news, investigate stories, and communicate through written and digital media. Unlike a general media or communications program, journalism focuses specifically on gathering facts, interviewing sources, and producing news for publication. This program suits people who want to understand how information reaches the public and who are curious about current events and storytelling.	You study visual art, design, and cultural expression from Indigenous perspectives, combining traditional crafts, fine art, and creative writing. This differs from a general fine art program by centring Indigenous artists, histories, and ways of making throughout, rather than treating them as one unit. It suits students who want to create and think critically about art and culture while engaging deeply with Indigenous knowledge and contemporary Indigenous artistic practice.	This is a combined undergraduate and law degree program that lets you study a humanities or social science subject alongside a professional law degree. Unlike a standard BA followed by separate law school, you complete both degrees together in an integrated path, earning a BA/LLB. It suits students who want a broader educational foundation in fields like English, archaeology, or communication studies while training to become a lawyer, rather than focusing only on law from the start.
