It is suitable for students seeking a broad based undergraduate degree with the potential for specialisation at Post Graduate level. Courses of study will be constructed around each student's individual interests, drawing from the units available to the student within the nominated study location.

Recognition of Prior LearningApplications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis. Duration and AvailabilityThe course is three years full-time or equivalent part-time study. It is expected that a substantial component of the course will consist of external study options. Course OrganisationThe course structure enables the combination of a variety of available units relevant to a wide range of employment opportunities and to further study. There is opportunity to select units from those being taught at the campus within other courses, external study options, units offered through Open Learning Australia, online units or project based learning (at third year level). Opportunities for cross institutional enrolment will also be considered. A minimum of eight units at second year level, and a minimum of five units at third year level, must be undertaken in this course. Career OpportunitiesThe multidisciplinary nature of a Bachelor of Arts provides broad analytical training instead of specialisation in any one area, thus maximising the career paths that can be followed. It is expected that many graduates will undertake post-graduate study in order to specialise. Additional Course ExpensesStudents may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. In addition, students may also need to contribute some of the cost of consumables, which varies depending on the area of study. Special NoteStudents who elect to transfer from the Bachelor of Arts into one of the more specialised Curtin Bachelor of Arts degrees during the course of their undergraduate study may be required to undertake additional units in order to achieve a satisfactory level of specialisation.
