Workplaces of the future need innovative leaders who can see the bigger picture, with the human-focused and transferable skills you’ ll gain in an arts and social sciences degree.
This course exposes you to important skills that can be transferred to your future workplace. In the process, you’ ll hone your capabilities to access reliable and trustworthy sources of information, and to interpret and critically evaluate important facts, opinions and key debates which you’ ll then communicate through critical writing.
You’ ll develop awareness of important issues and debates in areas such as gender and sexuality, politics, history and contemporary global challenges, human psychology, new developments in media and communication practices, and the study of screen, film and television.
CREATIVITY, CRITICAL THINKING, AND HUMAN INTUITION WILL ALWAYS BE RELEVANT.
