Research Areas of Schools and Centres in the Faculty of Arts

The Faculty of Arts is divided into eight academic schools offering research programs in a number of disciplines. Some areas of research are offered in more than one school. Research through the Arts contributes new knowledge and understanding, feeding into the culture, economy and wellbeing of society. This is recognised through external grants and many projects involving collaboration with industry partners, government and non-government organisations.
