The Faculty of Arts has a commitment to excellence in education. With this in mind, the faculty offers students in the Deans Scholars Program - Arts the opportunity to plan, in consultation with an adviser, personalised courses that differ in academic merit and scope from the normal Bachelor of Arts degree program. Students selected as deans scholars in arts will be eligible to choose the campus at which they wish to undertake their Bachelor of Arts program. The Deans Scholars Program - Arts applies only to the Bachelor of Arts. Specialised degrees, double degrees or double awards are not included in the program.
The normal entry requirement is satisfactory completion of the VCE or equivalent qualification. In addition, students must achieve an ENTER of 93.25 or above to be eligible for selection into the Deans Scholars Program. Applicants must also achieve a study score of at least 40 in English (any) and a study score of at least 40 in any three of Classical Societies and Cultures, Geography, History (any), extra English subjects, International Studies, Literature, LOTE (any), Psychology, Political Studies, Music or Drama.
Deans scholars in arts who qualify for an award in 2003 and study full-time receive $3000 per year, or pro rata for part-time students. The scholarship is renewable for each year of the course, subject to satisfactory academic performance (normally a distinction grade average).
The performance of Deans Scholars in Arts will be evaluated at the end of each year. Students are expected to continue achieving at the same high level at which they entered the program (normally distinction level). Students who are unable to maintain the required level of performance in each year may forfeit their Deans Scholars Award. The Deans Scholars Award may be held for a maximum of three years' full-time study in the Faculty of Arts. Students taking an honours year may continue to participate in the program after the expiry of their award.
