The Faculty of Arts offers a broad range of flexible undergraduate and postgraduate programs in an academic setting that draws on outstanding natural landscapes, fascinating historical sites and lively social activity.

Whether you study in the humanities and social sciences or in the visual and performing arts, you can be certain of receiving a high-quality university education, enhanced by Tasmania’s considerable cultural resources. During your studies, you can also choose to participate in activities that place you at the centre of contemporary life: you can engage in lively debate in a local philosophy café, develop skills in a community radio station, broaden your horizons with an overseas study exchange, and be stimulated by poetry festivals, theatre and music performances and topical visual art exhibitions.

The Faculty of Arts recognizes that it is important for you to develop a capacity for critical analysis and reflection, as well as the flexibility to adapt to a fast-changing world. We nurture an academic environment for students that balances solid teaching expertise with support and encouragement to explore new ideas. Our programs will provide you with a set of skills, knowledge and awareness that will be invaluable for your future personal and professional development.

There are ten Schools within the Faculty that offer a range of undergraduate programs. In addition to our single degrees undergraduate programs, we also offer a substantial number of combined degree programs. If you have completed an undergraduate degree, we also provide a number of postgraduate study opportunities by research and coursework.
