The School of Humanities and Social Sciences offers the following undergraduate awards:
The Diploma of Arts (Koorie Studies) is a two-year full-time course open to Koorie people, designed to assist students to explore Koorie cultures, histories and traditions. The course provides knowledge and skills to enhance employment prospects and to develop a greater awareness of lifestyle alternatives. The course seeks to contribute towards the maintenance of Koorie culture and to enable students to become actively and constructively involved in the process of self-determination.
The Bachelor of Social Welfare is designed to prepare graduates for work in a wide variety of welfare situations, both urban and rural. The course teaches a broad range of skills and develops appropriate values and attitudes in working with individuals, families, groups and communities in crisis or development. Theoretical perspectives and skills are integrated in practice through the course's field placements.
The Bachelor of Arts degree is designed to give students opportunities to study and appreciate the culture, history, literature, languages, politics and institutions of societies. The construction of major and minor sequences enables students to complete specialised studies of various disciplines and interdisciplinary programs.
The Bachelor of Arts (Administrative Studies) is designed to develop knowledge and understanding in an area of professional specialisation which will assist graduates to participate in a career concerned with managing people in organisational settings. Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of professional values, ethical concerns and legal issues of organisations in their national international contexts.
The Bachelor of Arts (Journalism) provides students with opportunities to develop an understanding of the theoretical and methodological issues in journalism, to understand the role of communication in modern society, and to develop practical skills and experience in the field.
The Bachelor of Arts (Communication) degree provides an inter-disciplinary core to create graduates who are knowledgeable about mass communications and who can apply that knowledge in a range of vocational and academic areas. The degree is aimed at satisfying the community and professional needs of graduates who not only have undertaken a major in communications theory in combination with studies in humanities, but who will have detailed knowledge of an area of specialisation which will direct their future career paths.
The Bachelor of Arts (Psychology and Humanities) degree gives students opportunities to develop an understanding of psychology as a scientific discipline, and to appreciate the role it plays within society as a whole. The construction of major and minor sequences enables students to undertake specialised studies in humanities disciplines.
The fourth-year honours program will enable students to qualify for entry to postgraduate courses, and will also assist students needing a fourth year of study to equip them for future employment.
A range of double degree programs combining studies in arts with disciplines such as social welfare, business, computing and education are also available. These are listed separately in this handbook.
