About this program

The Bachelor of Arts and Science at Flinders University in Adelaide offers a unique interdisciplinary programme, allowing students to explore both the arts and the sciences within a single degree. Over three years of full-time study, students engage in a diverse curriculum spanning subjects such as social sciences, psychology, the humanities, as well as life and physical sciences. The degree is designed to develop analytical, critical thinking, and research skills, fostering graduates who are adaptable and adept at navigating complex challenges across multiple fields.

Australian bachelor degrees like this one comprise core and elective units of study, with each unit carrying a set number of credit points towards the overall qualification. Students usually complete a combination of major and minor sequences from the arts and sciences, and may have the opportunity to undertake a capstone project that integrates their dual disciplinary strengths. Work-integrated learning, practical projects, or industry placements may be available in relevant fields, providing students with valuable real-world experience in the Australian context.

Throughout the degree, students gain communication, critical analysis, problem-solving, and research abilities, all of which are valued in both scientific and humanities-based careers. This course suits those interested in tailoring their studies across disciplines, keen to build a broad and adaptable skillset, or those with diverse academic interests who do not wish to be limited to a single field of study.

International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency, with IELTS 6.0–6.5 or equivalent accepted. Students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and the qualification may provide a pathway to post-study work opportunities in Australia under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). For the most current details about course structure, credit points, and unit options, refer to Flinders University's official course page.
