悉尼大學(xué)

Whether you want to learn a new language or study a new culture, explore great books, ideas or minds, discover the past, analyse the present or consider the shape of the world's future, the Bachelor of Arts will expand your horizons and challenge you to think outside the box.

Offering broad choice across more than 45 subject areas in the humanities and social sciences, no two arts degrees are quite the same. You will study a major and a minor, choosing both from our broad choice across the humanities and social sciences, or selecting your minor from the University's shared pool.

Whatever your focus, when you undertake our Bachelor of Arts degree you will be guided by the expertise of an internationally respected group of educators. With arts and humanities at the University of Sydney consistently recognised as among the top 20 faculties globally in academic rankings, our Bachelor of Arts degree is both highly regarded and well supported by research leaders.

The Cultural Studies major introduces you to critical approaches used in the study of a wide variety of cultural forms and practices. Cultural Studies is a field of study in which culture is understood not just as textual or artistic products like books, music or films, but in the broader sense of a dynamic and complexly patterned way of life.

The Cultural Studies major helps you understand the complexity of everyday life and the way that habits, texts, objects and beliefs are socially patterned and laden with values and meaning. It will provide you with a range of tools to analyse how cultural practices and meanings are produced, circulated and exchanged. It complements all forms of study in the Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as Media and Communications, Education, and Law.

You will be equipped to become an informed and engaged critical thinker in relation to important contemporary cultural issues and everyday experiences.
