Overview
From culture and communications to international relations and geography, the humanities are evolving as technology reshapes the way stories are told.
If you're ready to develop your communication and critical thinking skills for a changing world, this online pathway helps you meet Curtin's admission criteria to a range of degree courses and gives four units of credit towards the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Creative Arts.
Delivered fully online through our Bentley campus and Open Universities Australia (OUA), this recognised qualification can help you build a career path that's uniquely yours. You'll study the four units one at a time in an extended 20-week study period alongside your secondary school subjects or post-high school as a standalone course.
This pathway is ideal if you enjoy active, values-centred learning, live in a regional area, are home-schooled, or prefer flexible and diverse study options.
Wraparound support
This pathway provides a gradual and supported transition into university study, developing your skills in creative problem-solving, critical thinking, cultural and sustainability literacy, and academic communication. You'll be introduced to university expectations and learning environments step by step, with content available in multiple formats, flexible engagement options, and access to mentoring and study support.
