What Our Students Say
"When I finished school, I was hesitant to step into a degree that would pigeonhole my opportunities. I particularly liked that the Bachelor of Arts and Business presented me with the best courses from the two faculties. The business courses helped me to think strategically, while the arts courses taught me to think critically and analyse content in a very different way. It was great to wear both hats as it gave me a wide spectrum of skills to draw from when I graduated. The ability to think both critically and strategically have both been so beneficial in the workplace. It's been great to learn how to fuse both those mindsets together."
