Courses

Undergraduate

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences offers a range of courses across five campuses. Prospective and current students are advised to confirm with the Faculty Office the availabilty of courses offered at the campus you wish to study at. The tables below outline undergraduate course offerings across the five campuses.

Single degrees

The Faculty offers 12 single degrees: the Bachelor of Arts degree which is made up of a combination of disciplines and areas of study, whilst the other 'specialist' degrees focus on a particular area of interest from the beginning (two examples are the Bachelor of Development Studies or the Bachelor of Journalism). With these particular degrees, students are directed to relevant subject choices from a range of disciplines and the majority of the course is set.

Double degrees

Diploma in Languages

The Diploma in Languages is designed specifically for undergraduate students studying a Bachelors degree at La Trobe University. Students from any of La Trobe's degrees may apply. The Diploma must be studied concurrently with the Bachelors degree thereby giving successful candidates two distinct qualifications. This option will add one year to the overall length of the combined study program thereby avoiding an overload in any year of study.
