Making our world better

In our technology-driven world, critical skills and knowledge in languages, art, history, ethics, philosophy, psychology and human development are more important than ever. What you learn today can transform tomorrow.

Our arts and humanities degrees will equip you with the skills and placement opportunities for a career in the dynamic media and cultural sector. With dozens of subject areas, you can become a specialist in your chosen field by tailoring your degree. And you will learn under our unique Southern Cross Model, designed to deliver greater momentum and motivation, achieve milestones quickly, and set you up for success at university and beyond.  

You will gain transferable skills that are highly valued across all sectors, including qualities such as communication, analysis, critical thinking and problem-solving. Also, by delving deeply into human society, culture, history and philosophy, our graduates emerge with strong cultural awareness, empathy and the ability to build creative capacities and communication effectiveness.

For the content creators and digital natives, studies in digital media provide the creative and technical foundation for the career you desire and the stories you will tell. In the fast-paced media environment of today and tomorrow, you can set the pace.
