What it is	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.
