Details

The Bachelor of Arts at UCT is a three-year general degree that offers one of the most flexible and richly diverse academic experiences available at any South African university. Spanning 19 departments across the arts, social sciences, and performing and creative arts, students can combine majors from Afrikaans and African Languages to Film and Television Studies, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Media and Writing — while also drawing on courses from other faculties. UCT's Humanities faculty attracts students and scholars from across the globe and is the most popular destination for Semester Study Abroad students, ensuring that BA graduates develop in a genuinely cosmopolitan intellectual environment. The degree is deliberately designed to foster flexibility, imagination, social sensitivity, critical analysis, and the language and communication skills that employers across South Africa's public and private sectors consistently value most.
