What it isA four-year Bachelor of Arts in History means you study the past — events, people, societies, and how they shaped the world — through reading primary sources, analyzing interpretations, and writing essays. Unlike a shorter history diploma or certificate, this degree gives you time to specialize in particular periods or regions and develop research skills expected in graduate study or professional work. It suits people who enjoy reading, debate, and asking "why did things happen this way?"A Bachelor of Fine Arts focuses on developing your skills in visual art — drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and related media — through studio practice and art history study. Unlike a general arts degree, a BFA is a specialized program where most of your time goes to making and critiquing art rather than surveying broader disciplines. It suits people who want to develop a strong artistic voice and portfolio, whether they're aiming toward a career as a professional artist or exploring art as a serious creative pursuit.An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.You study arts subjects alongside business fundamentals in a joint-major degree. This combines the breadth of humanities and social sciences with business skills like finance, management, and organizational thinking, rather than letting you focus on just one. It suits people who want a flexible foundation for careers that blend analytical and communication skills across diverse fields.
