Professor Rae Francis, Monash University Dean of the Arts Faculty had these kind 100 words on the subject…
‘An Arts degree is the perfect degree for anyone who wants to acquire general, flexible skills in research, analysis and communication. Arts students are taught to THINK, not just absorb information, and are therefore useful to employers who need people who can think critically and show initiative. Because Arts students study people and societies, our knowledge can complement the skills of those from technical backgrounds to help find solutions to the big problems that confront the world today. An Arts degree also offers students an unparalleled opportunity to explore a range of fascinating subjects in a myriad of combinations. It gives you the chance to find out not just about human society, but also about yourself.’
