The broad teaching and learning objectives of the Bachelor of Arts degree ask of students that they satisfy the requirements of study within the very wide range of disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and communications offered by the faculty, and of some disciplines offered by other faculties. Students are encouraged to grasp the opportunity provided by undertaking a Bachelor of Arts to develop their imaginations and gain a broad understanding of the new ideas, skills and concepts.
For information on majors and minors, refer to the `Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.
Students
must complete the following:
(a) an arts major (48 points)
(b) an arts minor (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).
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.
Note that no more than 10 units (60 points) are to be completed at a first-year
level. Students have a maximum of eight years to complete this course.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in South Africa currently offers major sequences in communications and media studies, geography and environmental science and psychology. Students can also take units from the disciplines of English, French and criminal justice and criminology. It is anticipated that a major in international studies will also be offered and honours programs in the preceding major areas will be available.
