Undergraduate Study
The Faculty is home to the University's Bachelor of Arts, which was the first degree offered at the University in 1855.
The Bachelor of Arts is a key part of the University of Melbourne's unique curriculum. The University was the first in Australia to align its education more with that offered in Europe and North America and to offer a broad education at the undergraduate level with specialised options at the graduate level. Since the launch of this revised structure the degree has become the most popular in the state of Victoria based on how many high school students select it as their first preference and most likely in Australia. In 2013 over 1700 offers were made for this program, making it one of the largest in Australia.
