The Bachelor of Letters is a 108-unit program that must be studied concurrently with another Bachelor degree at an approved Australian higher education institution, for which 72 units of block credit will be awarded on completion of the requirements of the other degree. The Bachelor of Letters is normally undertaken part-time over three years to allow concurrent study with the other Bachelor degree, thus adding one extra year to the overall study program. The language streams must be undertaken part-time over three years or six consecutive semesters.
The Bachelor of Letters enables students to follow their interests and aspirations and enhance their career prospects by undertaking another area of study.
Students can choose one of the following streams:
