Notes

In order to qualify for the BA (Global) degree all students must complete GLO3001. This unit is offered in semester two only, but may be undertaken at a Monash campus in Australia or overseas. It is the student's responsibility to take this requirement into account when making decisions about the location and duration of their study abroad experience.
This course has a compulsory overseas study/exchange component. Students may select arts units from any campus, but should be aware of the teaching location as this may require travel to another campus. Students may also select units offered in off-campus mode.
