Units available to arts students from other faculties as non-arts units

In addition to their arts discipline major and minor and other Arts requirements, students undertaking some Arts courses can normally study another major from a non-arts discipline. The faculties offering disciplines and units that are of interest to arts students include Art and Design, Business and Economics, Information Technology, and Science. Students should refer to individual faculty sections in this handbook to obtain detailed information on the choices available and consult with the faculty that owns particular units regarding unit prerequisites or quotas.

The Faculty of Arts offers double-degree programs with most other faculties of the university. These degrees are of particular interest to students who wish to pursue disciplines from different faculties.
