Bachelor of Arts

General information

Course code: 0002
To complete the Bachelor of Arts, students must follow a six-step structure:
(a) an arts major (normally 48 points)
(b) an arts minor (normally 24 points)
(c) another first-year arts sequence (12 points)
(d) another 12 points of arts at first, second or third-year level
(e) a minimum of 36 points at third-year level (across the duration of the degree).
(f) a total of 144 points.
Of the 144 points, 96 points must be in the structure outlined in steps (a) to (d), and the remaining 48 points may be taken from disciplines in the Faculty of Arts or from disciplines outside the faculty. This means that you can study a second major from the Arts faculty or a major (equivalent) from another faculty. Note that arts units include psychology. A major from a faculty other than Arts usually requires the permission of that faculty. You should consult the list below or the document on arts majors and minors available at the Arts faculty office on any campus or the Arts faculty web page to determine majors and minors available in each discipline. Gippsland students should refer to the School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences entry for details on major and minor sequences.

Psychology within undergraduate arts degrees

The Bachelor of Arts permits a major in psychology as an arts discipline (this means that you can also do a major in another discipline offered by another faculty to make up your 'free' points). Registration with the Australian Psychological Society requires 60 points of psychology and the additional points will be taken from 'free' credit points. For psychology in other undergraduate programs, contact the Arts faculty office. Psychology may also be studied as an honours discipline within the Bachelor of Arts (Honours).
