Established in 2015, the Bachelor of Arts (BA) Advisory Board comprises industry members who reflect the diverse disciplines within the BA and a broad range of industries, including business, non-profits, community organisations, government, media industries, arts and cultural organisations, and education.

The purpose of the BA Advisory Board is to:

  • Provide independent, external and strategic advice to the Faculty Executive Dean and BA Management Committee to assist with development of the BA, the student experience, and employability of graduates.
  • Consider and respond to a range of specific issues relevant to the BA, which may include:
    • the future of relevant industries and employment within industries;
    • articulating the value of a BA education to students and industry;
    • identifying new opportunities and partnerships with industry; and
    • engaging BA students and staff in diverse, global and inclusive communities.
