The course teaches students the all-important grammatical and syntactic rules according to which speakers of Greek and/or Latin expressed themselves.

Students are encouraged to learn Greek as well as Latin since Greek influenced literary production in the Roman-speaking world.

Associate Degree in Social and Community Welfare

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

Studying humanities develops general knowledge and specific intellectual skills relating to human thought and relations, such as the way we communicate or how the past has affected the present. Social science analyses and explains societies and the relationships of individuals within those societies. As well as their humanities and social science specialisations, students can also complete studies within the Bachelor of Arts from other faculties.*

* Students must be able to meet any prerequisite or special requirements for such units.

Graduates are expected to:

• develop the intellectual capabilities inherent in the interpretation of sources of knowledge
• develop the capacity for quantitative and qualitative analysis, critique and creative thinking in various humanities, arts and social science disciplines
• develop an understanding of the present interpretations and potential future developments in the issues underlying the content of and approaches to the disciplines they study

• develop the skills of written and oral presentation, argument and analysis, including other practical skills such as computer skills, as are appropriate to the disciplines they study
• demonstrate the capacity to apply these studies in the changing circumstances of intellectual life and of the profession they are likely to inhabit

The Bachelor of Arts is a general, flexible degree which allows students to match academic interests with career aspirations to create a personalised course progression. Studying humanities will develop general knowledge and specific intellectual skills relating to human thought and relations, such as the way we communicate or how the past has affected the present. Social science analyses and explains societies and the relationships of individuals within those societies.

Computer science is concerned with the science of computing, and the scientific design and use of computer hardware and software. Computer science is a broad discipline, encompassing software design and programming, the actual computing machinery, the theoretical foundations, and all of the applications of computing which pervade our modern society. This course provides an in-depth study of computing with an emphasis on the software, hardware and theory of computation to solve commercial, scientific and technical problems. It also explores software design and programming, computer hardware, the theoretical foundations of computing and its present and potential applications.

Students graduating from this double-degree program will have the talents of a computer technologist along with highly developed verbal, communication and visual skills. This degree will therefore give graduates an edge in a wide range of employment opportunities related to the areas of information technology and the arts, humanities or social sciences.

Students must complete 96 points in the Bachelor of Arts component and 108 points in the Bachelor of Computer Science component.

This course gives students the opportunity to deepen and broaden their understanding of the basic workings of the English language from a number of perspectives: structural, historical, socio-cultural, developmental and pedagogical. It focuses on the design of English, how it functions in society, how it develops and changes, how it relates to thought and how it is acquired and learned.

Students develop specialised skills in the analysis of the structure (grammatical, syntactic, and phonological) of the English language as well as the ability to critically assess its written texts. They also develop an understanding of the problems encountered in intercultural communication, and learn how English has come to be a global language. Students will graduate with highly developed skills in professional writing and oral communication, skills which will make them successful employees in the current global English-centric environment.
