It teaches students about art in human life and provides a context for students to develop their own arts practice. The intellectual and practical skills developed in the Arts and Humanities major prepares students for a wide range of careers including work in art history, arts administration, art practice, art education, music, museums, performing arts, publishing, academia and journalism.

KATHY POH, CLASS OF 2020
I chose the Arts and Humanities major because I see the arts as a field that I will always have endless fascination for. I enjoy thinking about ways that rules and languages of artistic mediums can be bent to create new methods of telling stories.

ANDREW KWAN, CLASS OF 2020
I see life as a series of stories; and I majored in Arts and Humanities to learn how to tell these stories in the best ways possible. I also pursued a minor in Psychology as I am keen to integrate discussions about mental health into my work.

CRYSTAL LOW, CLASS OF 2020
I realised that I could not detach myself from the life of art making and found myself mesmerised by the world of illustration and comics. I became obsessed with drawing and made the decision to properly dedicate myself to the study of visual arts.
