This is the third core program in the BA degree, bringing together Humanities students from all disciplines and subfields to put into practice the critical reasoning and research skills studied in HASS1000 and HASS2000.
You will hone your knowledge and skills through practical application and a major research project. This individual project can take the form of a traditional research paper or a creative, applied or digital outcome. It will demonstrate your capabilities in a range of areas that are demanded by employers in the knowledge economy, including digital communication, complex problem solving, initiative or enterprise, and creative thinking.

I'm a Senior Lecturer at UON and the author of Doubtful Readers (OUP, 2020). I'm interested in the ways the material forms literary texts take (print, manuscript, digital) shape their meanings.

Apply critical reasoning, creative thinking and problem-solving skills to answer complex questions in areas of the Humanities.
Implement evidence-based Humanities research methods in a practical research project.
