The Bachelor of Arts (Extended) provides a pathway for motivated and aspiring Indigenous students. It is a four-year Arts degree which includes a year of bridging subjects to ensure success in the most prestigious Arts degree in Australia. A key element of the Bachelor of Arts (Extended) is that this program is residential – students live in University residential colleges and benefit from all the extra support that colleges provide. Additional support services are available for all students through Murrup Barak, the Melbourne Institute of Indigenous Development and Murrup Barak Indigenous Student Programs.
