The Diploma of Liberal Arts will provide you with the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in one of the humanities or social sciences while completing a bachelor's single or double degree in other fields.

Social science analyses and explains societies and the relationships of individuals within those societies. The diploma is offered in many of the Bachelor of Arts majors as indicated below. This diploma is usually completed by students studying in faculties other than arts, however, arts students may apply to add this course after successfully completing one year.
