Description

The broad teaching and learning objectives of the Bachelor of Arts degree ask of students that they satisfy the requirements of study within the range of disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and communications offered by the faculty at Sunway.

Objectives

Students are encouraged to grasp the opportunity provided by undertaking a Bachelor of Arts to develop their imaginations and gain a broad understanding of new ideas, skills and concepts.

Structure

Students complete a compulsory arts major and arts minor, with additional studies chosen from a variety of arts disciplines.

Areas of study

For information on majors and minors, refer to the 'Areas of study' section in this Handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/arts-ug-areas-of-study.html.

Requirements

Students complete 144 points comprising the following:

(a.) an arts major (48 points) from any of the following study areas:

Communication

Writing

International studies

Psychology

  • PSY1011 Psychology 1A
  • PSY1022 Psychology 1B
  • PSY2031 Development and biological psychology
  • PSY2042 Cognitive and social psychology

(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.) additional units to make up a total of 144 points

No more than 10 units (60 points) are to be completed at a first-year level.

Students must complete 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 the student can study a second major from the Arts faculty or a major (equivalent) from another faculty. A major from a faculty other than Arts usually requires the permission of that faculty.
