The B.A.(Hons) focuses on a single area, with a secondary area as subsidiary. All undergraduate students follow two areas of study during the first year, but those who wish and qualify to proceed to the honours track continue with one area of study, in addition to a limited number of credits in the subsidiary area to be taken during the second year. Honours students write research-based dissertations or long essays in the final stages of their studies.

The B.A. is spread equally over two areas of study and is intended for students who wish to continue their studies in the chosen main areas.
