Bachelor of Information and Communications Technology / Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Thought (Dual Degree)

Program Overview

In the IT area, the program allows students to develop skills in application development, program design, systems analysis and design, networks, web-design, and the implementation of technology to solve real-world problems.

In addition to providing a strong technical background in IT, the program also provides students with the necessary knowledge in an Arts major such as: International Relations and Asian Studies, Culture and Society, English, History and Political Thought, Philosophy, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Indonesian, and Psychological Studies.

Major: History and Political Thought
Since the revival of humanist thought in the Renaissance, universities have placed studies in history and political thought at the centre of exploring what it is to be human.

At the heart of the History and Political Thought major are four compulsory units, which introduce the student to the modern history of humanity (since 1500). Although Europe is very prominent in the major, you will be invited to compare its history to the histories of Asia, Africa and the Americas.

The major culminates in a capstone unit in students’ final semester, discussing historical theories and methods. A wide range of elective units covers European, American, Australian and Asian history and political thought, and includes thematic units which range widely over time and place.
