Bachelor of Arts
We’ve redesigned the Bachelor of Arts so you can get the most out of this program. Step outside the classroom and get real world experience with an internship. Travel overseas and get credit towards your degree with a study abroad program. Find a meaningful community service project. At Western, you’re not just learning how to make a difference in the world. You’re doing it.

Our new delivery mode combines traditional classroom learning with 24-hour access to program materials online. This gives you greater flexibility and more time to discuss ideas and collaborate in class.

Depending on your major, there are opportunities for practical experience and international placements. We’ve also got state-of-the-art facilities like our own recording studio, multimedia labs and digital suites.

Effective communication and critical thinking skills are valued in all industries. That’s why there are so many career pathways in this program. Communication and media, education, psychology, social policy, writing and publishing are just some of the career opportunities our graduates pursue.

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 (since 1500) history of humanity. Although Europe is very prominent in the Major, the student 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.
