Division of Humanities Departments
Browse by
Apart from being able to specialise in traditional core disciplines (such as History, Philosophy and Music), Humanities students may also choose among a variety of new interdisciplinary programmes such as Asian Studies, Film and Media Studies, and Performing Arts), as well as programmes that lead to professional qualifications in Law and Teaching. Students taking Humanities at Otago are encouraged to combine their liberal studies with papers and programmes that have a professional or vocational orientation, especially by doing a double degree for example, BA/BCom, BA/LLB, or BA/BTchg(Prim).
