With our Bachelor of Arts you can choose from 40 different major and minor areas of study, including languages, social studies, communications, politics, human rights, and international relations to develop an informed, critical awareness of the fields youre most passionate about. This course leads to two separate degrees. Depending upon your specialisation, you will be awarded one of:Bachelor of Art History and Curating, or Bachelor of Fine Art and Bachelor of Arts. You will gain all the benefits of each degree course and be fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in your chosen work. If you choose the Art History and Curating specialisation, you’ll develop your understanding and appreciation of art including its origins and significance. You’ll gain hands-on experience developing an exhibition concept and internship opportunities will develop your curating skills in ‘real-life’ situations.Anthropology is the comparative study of different ways of life. It seeks an insider perspective on alternative ways of being in the world. To interpret human behaviour, anthropologists ask questions not just about what people do, but also about why they do it, what they mean by it, what motivates them, and what values guide them. In the past, anthropologists were invariably Westerners making observations of societies that visibly differed from their own. This image is no longer adequate for understanding anthropology. It is true that contemporary anthropologists are still interested in studying difference and the generation of difference, but they are playing an increasingly complex and important role in the modern world: wherever human diversity is an issue, anthropologists are called upon to provide their expertise. In fields including peace-building and dispute resolution, health and medicine, resource exploitation, social policy, indigenous issues, corporate management, mediatisation, religious radicalisation, development aid and policy, and curating/museum practice, anthropologists are called upon to contribute their specialised knowledge and understanding. You will explore anthropological issues across a range of areas and societies, and will be challenged to reflect on your own cultural world from perspectives that may differ radically from your own. In the process, you will gain skills in research methods distinctive to anthropology, and be given the opportunity to study and apply these methods in Malaysia (optional). You will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the key concepts and debates in anthropology via detailed examination of topics including drugs and culture human mobility international development human rights religion/magic and indigenous matters.
