Study with us

The Institute of Human Sciences is home to the Human Sciences BA course. This unique undergraduate programme offers an interdisciplinary academic training that enables students to study humans from multiple interconnecting perspectives across the biological and social sciences. Underlying the vision for the degree is the recognition that it is important to understand connections among biological, social, and cultural phenomena in order to address the major issues and problems humans face in a rapidly changing world. The programme offers a challenging alternative to more traditional undergraduate courses. Teaching is provided by academics representing a wide range of expertise from a number of departments across the University [see more about the academic profiles of staff teaching the degree here.]
