Humanities

Humanities is a diverse area of study which seeks to understand the human experience. As technology advances like AI mean changes to modern workplaces and society our lifestyles are changing too, and professionals who can effectively analyse and adapt to these changes will be sought after by employers.

UNE offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and specialisations in humanities designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to protect yourself from changes at work with skills in the arts and social sciences. Because of our extensive experience in training adults for constantly changing job markets our humanities courses focus on communication, problem-solving and exploring how human behaviour and creativity has been shaped by social, political, and cultural contexts to ensure that you are future-fit to adapt to changes and advancements in the field.

The majority of our students choose online learning, where they become part of a community of adult learners who use their life and work experience to create practical networks for their future. On-campus learners can access housing, sports and support services. Whether online or on-campus, you can choose to study full-time or part-time over three trimesters.

With UNE, you’ll graduate feeling prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead with a career in humanities, whether you choose to pursue law, journalism, public policy, education or the arts. By choosing UNE, you’ll be studying with an industry leader in the provision of online lifelong learning.
