Arts and humanities
The biggest unknown isn't what the future holds. It's discovering your place in it.
In a world of algorithms and automation, the most powerful force is human connection. The ability to understand different perspectives, bridge cultures, and find meaning in complexity isn't just valuable – it's essential.
At UQ, arts and humanities students explore ideas, histories and cultures to better understand humanity – and their role in shaping it.

Why UQ
Hear from our arts and humanities students
Studying arts and humanities has let me connect with different people in surprising and unexpected ways.
The most powerful thing that I learnt at university was the ability to think critically. I carried this ability to analyse and dissect a situation from different angles with me from the classroom to different professional scenarios with relative ease.
My degree helped me learn how to study films critically – what makes a good film, and what doesn’t, and I use this in my role as a programming specialist to analyse films and how they’ll work across our circuit.
