Executive Dean: Professor Richard Fotheringham

The Faculty of Arts is central to the University's role of providing a broad, liberal education to the community, an integral element of the role of universities today. The Faculty is committed to excellence in teaching, research, research training and scholarship, service provision and community linkages.

The Faculty comprises four Schools, in what could be considered the core humanities disciplines. These are the School of English, Media Studies and Art History, the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics, the School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies, and the School of Music.

The Faculty aims to provide outstanding humanities and creative arts education to students, and undertake research of the highest international quality in both the traditional and new humanities.
