Description

Anthropology is the comparative study of different ways of life - it seeks an 'insider' perspective on alternative ways of being in the world. To interpret human behaviour, anthropologists ask questions not just about what people do, but about why they do it, what they mean by it, what motivates them to do it and what people value in diverse societies and cultures. Anthropologists are playing an increasingly important role in the modern world: wherever human diversity is an issue, anthropologists are called upon to provide their expertise. In fields as diverse as journalism, climate change, mining, dispute-resolution and peace-building, social policy, indigenous issues, development aid and emergency assistance, anthropologists are called upon to contribute their specialised knowledge and understanding.

Anthropologists generally gain this knowledge and understanding experientially, by immersing themselves in the lives of others. They usually select and approach a group of people following a distinct way of life with a collective identity of some kind, often based on religious, political, social or economic factors. Using a method known as fieldwork, anthropologists observe the lives of others by living with them, sharing in their experiences, and discussing their perspectives to gain a detailed understanding of their cultural world. The social contexts in which anthropologists conduct fieldwork are extremely varied, but what anthropologists share is a commitment to exploring and understanding different ways of life and diverse cultural perspectives, so as to illuminate these for others.

Anthropology thus enables us to develop an understanding of cultural difference, but it also helps us reflect on our own cultural world from an altered perspective. Students are encouraged to recognise the assumptions underlying their own cultural orientation, as well to understand alternative ways of seeing the world from perspectives that may differ radically from their own. This reflection is a two-way process: anthropology can make the strange seem familiar, but it also makes the familiar seem strange, as it challenges our taken-for-granted assumptions about the way the world works.

Anthropology's comparative approach to understanding human kind is becoming increasingly important. In recent times, there has been a growth of major social and political movements throughout the world in which people are stressing their sense of community, shared identity and assertions of difference on the basis of factors, such as religion, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, or status as indigenous peoples, which often cut across national boundaries. At the same time, many people are expressing concern over equity and social justice issues, environmental degradation and climate change. Anthropology is a vital discipline, because of its emphasis on the significance of cultural difference to any understanding of these diverse expressions of humanity.

Anthropology also has practical application. Anthropological knowledge, theories, concepts and methods can be applied to real-world problems, such as understanding poverty and development issues, or transformational change and its social and cultural impacts. Anthropologists are increasingly employed in the corporate world for their cross-cultural understanding of symbols and meanings that drive consumer behaviour; and in the development sector, where they work for government, non-government and multilateral aid agencies, as consultants, practitioners and evaluators of aid projects. They are also employed in the media and in a range of research and teaching roles.

The following are some areas of study that are central to socio-cultural anthropology:

Knowledge across cultures: What can we know of others? How can we know it?
Cross-cultural approaches to religion: What is shared and what is unique in religious experience around the world?
Political anthropology: How do forms of power and conflict differ cross-culturally?
Visual anthropology: What are the ethics and aesthetics of depicting other peoples?
Ethnography: Can we describe, interpret and explain other distinct ways of life?
Theories of culture: Can we make sense of culture and explain cultural difference?
Fieldwork: What methods allow us to know other peoples? How/Do they work?

Because the field of anthropological inquiry ranges over many areas, the teaching program provides a core of units that focus on key sub-fields and also topical units that study contemporary issues from a cross-cultural anthropological perspective.

Units

First-year level

Students studying a sequence in anthropology must complete the following two units (12 points):

ATS1254 Culture, power and difference: Indigeneity and Australian identity
ATS1255 Culture, power and globalisation

Second/Third-year level

Students studying a minor or major in anthropology must have completed the first-year sequence. In addition:

a minor requires completion of a further two units (12 points) from the focus and topic units listed below, including at least one focus unit (see List A). These units should be studied at second year level.
a major requires completion of a further six units (36 points) from the units listed below, including a minimum of two focus units (see List A) and up to four topic units (see List B). A minimum of three units must be taken at third year level.

List A: Focus units

As the field of anthropological inquiry ranges over many areas, each of these units focuses on a key sub-field of the discipline that students are encouraged to explore.

ATS2371/ATS3371 Magic, science and religion
ATS2373/ATS3373 Visualising cultures: Film and ethnography

List B: Topic units

Australian Indigenous studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences
Campus(es)	Clayton, Gippsland

Notes

The sequence of units and units available differ between campuses. Refer to the individual campus entries below. Also available via Off-campus Learning.

Description

Clayton

Offered by the Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies

The Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies (CAIS) offers units that aim to encourage students to understand the past and contemporary experiences of Australian Indigenous peoples. Students will acquire a general knowledge of many different aspects of Australian Indigenous cultures and of how these cultures have undergone change and adaptation. Such understanding will require students to construct critical arguments and analyse topics studied in their historical and contemporary contexts. Units in Australian Indigenous studies aim to assist students to develop a good knowledge base about key issues in Indigenous societies, including the ongoing relationship between Indigenous and settler Australians, points of contestation and how this has shaped the position of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in contemporary society, and understanding Indigenous relationships to each other and to the land.

Units offered by Australian Indigenous studies take an interdisciplinary approach to the contemporary experiences of Australian Aborigines by including the study of kinship and political systems in urban and remote societies, and the contrasts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous societies.

CAIS offers a first-year sequence and later-year units and students do not necessarily have to chose an Australian Indigenous studies unit at first year to make up a minor or major sequence in Australian Indigenous studies. The first-year sequence is jointly offered by CAIS and anthropology.

Teaching in the centre includes lectures and small tutorial and seminar groups, which encourage debate and inquiry. Presentations, written summaries and essays incorporate reflective, analytical and oral skills specific to Indigenous studies as well as to the arts degree. A number of Arts faculty units offered in anthropology, Australian studies, Indigenous archaeology, geography, history, politics, linguistics, environmental science, sociology, visual culture and women's and gender studies complement units offered in Indigenous studies.

Honours can be undertaken in Australian Indigenous studies and combined honours may also be taken with other disciplines provided that all honours requirements have been met in both disciplines and subject to the approval of the honours coordinators or heads of the relevant schools.

The academic staff includes Professor Lynette Russell (CAIS Director), Dr Barry Judd, Dr Stephen Pritchard, Dr Karen Hughes, Dr Jane Lydon and Deputy Director Assoc. Professor John Bradley. A major aim of the centre is to provide excellent and culturally appropriate undergraduate, honours and postgraduate courses.

Gippsland and off-campus

Offered by the School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences

Australian Indigenous studies at Gippsland is an interdisciplinary major offering a range of units that are designed to introduce students to the historical, social and political aspects of Australian Indigenous society. The major will provide an understanding of the relationships between Indigenous Australians and the dominant society as well as developing students with a sound knowledge and sensitivity to work within Aboriginal communities.

The study program consists of units covering topics such as Australian Indigenous societies, issues in Aboriginal education, art, literature, politics, human rights, and Indigenous women and international issues.

Behavioural studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Political and Social Inquiry
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton

Notes

From 2005 the 'behavioural studies programs' offered at Gippsland campus and via off-campus learning were renamed 'psychological studies' - Gippsland students should refer to the psychological studies entry in this section of the Handbook.

Description

Behavioural studies is a field that is concerned with an exploration of human behaviour in the rapidly changing, and challenging environments of the 21st century. The major draws on historical and emerging insights from sociological, cultural, philosophical, biological and psychological explanations of human behaviours. Behavioural studies promotes a multi-disciplinary orientation to the study of a range of issues including the following: the relationships between the individual and the social; human relationships; theories of personality, identity, self and others; explanations of criminal behaviours; individual development across the life course; conflict and difference; the self in digital environments.

The discipline offers an undergraduate program (minor and major) at the Clayton and Caulfield campuses and an honours program at the Caulfield campus.

A major in behavioural studies can play a vital part in preparing students for employment in most areas that involve the understanding, management and direction of human behaviours and relations, particularly in private and public sector areas such as the human services field, management, marketing, communications and media. It can also provide a basis for further studies in social work, education, mind and society, counselling and law.

Units

First-year level

Students studying a sequence in behavioural studies must complete two units (12 points) from the following:

ATS1261 Understanding human behaviour

PSY1011 Psychology 1A and ATS1262 Introduction to social behaviour

Note: Students are not permitted to study both ATS1261/ATS1262 and PSY1011/PSY1022.

Second/Third-year level

Bioethics

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Philosophical, Historical and International Studies
Campus(es)	Clayton

Notes

A minor only is offered.

Description

The growth of scientific knowledge and technical ability in medicine, genetics and the biological sciences has led to a number of ethical problems which perplex all of us, but especially those in the health care field. Is genetic enhancement of humans ethically justified? Is it unethical to select embryos for implantation on the basis of sex? Should research designed to find 'gay genes' be conducted given that the results of such work might be used against homosexual people? Is human embryonic stem cell research justified by the prospect it offers of alleviating some of the most debilitating diseases? Should we proceed with research trying to clone people? Does the fact that we can prolong the life of a patient in a permanent vegetative state mean that we should do so? Bioethics studies conducted by the Centre for Human Bioethics, attempts to develop ethical thinking so as to keep pace with advances in biomedical technology, anticipate future developments and assess what might be done if and when these anticipated developments become a reality.

Child and youth development

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Arts
Campus(es)	South Africa

Description

Child and youth development promotes and facilitates optimum development of children and adolescents with both normal and special developmental needs, ensuring that their effectiveness within all the contexts in which they function.

The developmental-ecological perspective adopted as the theoretical model of choice for this area of study emphasises the interaction between persons and the physical and social environments, including cultural and political settings. The value of such knowledge has become increasingly important both nationally and internationally as understanding of the importance of early life experiences to the later optimal development and well-being of the child becomes more apparent. Poor early life experiences can lead to deleterious outcomes from underachievement of potential to delinquency and deviancy.

Issues of major importance for the children and youth of South Africa include, mother-to child HIV transmission rates, teenage pregnancies, access to medical treatment, child-run families, orphan status, adoption, poverty and abuse. In South Africa, the mean population age is young; 43 per cent of the population is under 20 years of age and 32 per cent is under the age of 15 years. HIV prevalence rates in South Africa are currently 11 per cent of the population with mother to child infections.

This area of study makes a significant contribution to the knowledge base of child and youth care workers. Such knowledge aims to prepare such workers for professional practice, which can focus on the infant, child and adolescent within the context of the family, the community and across the life span.

Professional practitioners promote the optimal development of children, youth and their families in a variety of settings, such as early care and education, community-based child and youth development programs, parent education and family support, school-based programs, community mental health, group homes, residential centres, rehabilitation programs, paediatric health care and juvenile justice programs. Child and youth care practice includes skills in assessing client and program needs, designing and implementing programs and planned environments, integrating developmental, preventive and therapeutic requirements into the life space, contributing to the development of knowledge and professions, and participating in systems interventions through direct care, supervision, administration, teaching, research, consultation and advocacy.

Students completing this major will have knowledge vital to the future development of South Africa and its neighbouring states. Such students will be sensitised to the developmental challenges facing the region and hopefully will follow professions and occupations that contribute to the betterment of its peoples while being sensitive to local cultures and beliefs. Those who complete the major in child and youth development will be ideally positioned when the formal professional status of this discipline is accredited by the South African Council for Social Service Professions.

Studies in child and youth development complement current majors offered at the South African campus such as criminology, psychology, international studies, environmental studies, philosophy and sociology.

Units

First-year level

Students studying a sequence in child and youth development must complete two units (12 points) from the following:

Chinese language

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton

Description

The Chinese studies program offers seven Chinese language streams on the Clayton campus. Students will be placed at the appropriate entry point according to their language ability and their previous language studies. The Chinese studies program retains the right to determine the proper stream for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first obtaining approval from the Chinese studies program.

Once a student's entry point is determined, he or she will progress through the compulsory language units in a designated stream. At each level, students have the option to enrol in an intensive in-country program as part of their stream component.

As part of a major in Chinese, in addition to compulsory language units, students normally take two Chinese language electives (see 'Elective units' below. These electives may also be replaced by units in Chinese studies or Asian studies).

Intensive in-country Chinese program (summer semester)

The Chinese studies program runs an intensive, in-country, fee-paying Chinese language study program at Chinese host universities in Shanghai and Beijing. Students can study for either three or six weeks and may be eligible to apply for Monash International Study Abroad grants. In addition to formal language classes, the in-country-study program immerses students in Chinese culture and society. Intensive in-country Chinese program units can be taken as part of any Chinese language sequence, or as an elective for students from other schools or faculties.

Detailed information can be found at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/chinese/incountry. Students must consult the Chinese studies program before making application. In addition to the six compulsory language streams, elective units are also offered in the Chinese translation stream and Chinese professional language internship.

Language Study Abroad program

In addition to the Intensive Chinese in-country program, students may also undertake in-country study in semesters one, two or over a full-year at approved institutions in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan. Students must obtain written approval from the Chinese studies program before enrolling.

For a full list of units see below.

Note: Students may replace some of their compulsory language units with alternate intensive in-country units up to 24 points, or students can choose language study abroad units as electives.

All Chinese language students are encouraged to enrol in Chinese studies or Asian studies units. These units have no Chinese language prerequisites and are open to students not studying Chinese language. Chinese and Asian studies units are taught in the school as well as in other schools of the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Non-Arts students

In some non-Arts courses students are able to take Arts electives and count them towards their course. Students who want to study a language as part of their non-Arts course should discuss with the managing faculty of their course:

whether they are allowed to include language units as part of their course
how many units/credit points they may or must study and at what year-level/s
how to select the appropriate language units in which to enrol.

Note: Because some students will be unable to study language as first-year level units, the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics have created second-year level codes to enable non-Arts students to complete the equivalent of a first-year sequence in their chosen language. Students wishing to enrol in these units must discuss any future enrolment with the relevant language program before enrolling.

Units

First-year sequence

A sequence is normally a first semester first-year level unit which is followed by a second semester first-year level unit in the same discipline.

Minor sequence

Students complete a standard minor chosen from one of the following options:

24 points of core language units
18 points of core language units plus one second-year level elective chosen from units listed below.

Major sequence

Students complete a standard major consisting of six core language units as listed below and also including two electives chosen from units that can be counted towards the discipline.

NOTE: Students may replace some of their core language units with alternate intensive in-country units (up to 24 points), or can choose language study abroad units as electives.

Major sequences - choosing the right entry point

Students wishing to undertake Chinese have the option of starting in one of seven entry points. The following sequences are provided as guides only. There are several ways to structure a Chinese major, however students wishing to accelerate through the proficiency levels either by taking study abroad units or because their level of language acquisition results allow them to, must consult with the language program before enrolling.

Notes

The sequence of units and units available differ between campuses. Refer to the individual campus entries below. Also available via off-campus learning.

Description

Caulfield and Clayton

On the Clayton and Caulfield campuses Communications is an academically oriented program with a focus on new media, and the dynamic changes in media and communication industries. At these campuses communications is offered by the School of English, Communications and Performance Studies.

The focus is on the organisation, processes and effects of traditional and new communications technologies such as print, television, film, electronic and digital media. Students gain an understanding of the practical operation of the media as well as the social and cultural dimensions of communications, and the complex relationships between audiences, producers and policy makers. Students also examine the nature of communication and the capabilities and applications of communication in a range of societies.

Students learn to critically analyse the media and learn about the structure of communications industries and the relations between media, culture and power. Communications theory is an integral part of the discipline, coupled with an investigation of the practices, technologies and processes that make up modern media.

The program prepares students to work across the public and private sectors, and a wide range of communications industries. The program offers an international approach to the study of communications and provides practical experience in the use of new communications technologies.

Berwick, Gippsland, off-campus learning

At Berwick and Gippsland campuses and via off-campus learning, communications is offered by the School of Humanities, Communication and Social Sciences.

Communications offers a range of units designed to equip students with specialised but flexible skills in describing and analysing the organisation, processes, diverse uses and effects of 'traditional' and 'new' communications technologies including print, broadcasting, cinema and the internet. Communications is interdisciplinary, drawing on literary and screen theory, social and political theory, media and cultural studies. The emphasis is on media as productive of the ways in which the social relations between individuals and social/political institutions are organised. Units in communications provide students with an understanding of the practical operation of communication media as well as the social and cultural dimensions, considering relations between the audiences, producers and policy-makers involved. Communications is complemented by the related disciplines of journalism, public relations and writing, as well as other humanities and social sciences.

South Africa and Sunway

The communications program at Sunway offers a professionally-oriented program with minors in writing and international studies. At the South Africa campus, the program looks at the organisation, processes and effects of traditional and new communications technologies in the South African context.

Comparative literature and cultural studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of English, Communications and Performance Studies
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton, South Africa, Sunway

Notes

Note: Only selected units are available at the Caulfield, South Africa and Sunway campuses.

Description

Units under this heading are administered by the Centre for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies within the School of English, Communications and Performance Studies. The Centre is an interdisciplinary teaching unit with responsibility for teaching and research in three main areas:

(a.) Comparative literature is the study of literary texts in ways that go beyond particular national or linguistic boundaries. Students study literary texts written in other languages - including Ancient Greek, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Latin, Russian and Spanish - as well as in English. All texts are studied in English translation although will normally know the original as well.

(b.) Cultural studies is the study of literature in its political and social contexts and in relation to other arts and media, for example the press, film and television. The interrelationships between texts and codes are studied, both 'artistic' and 'popular', verbal and visual. The connections between social institutions are examined, such as the international media conglomerates, cultural technologies like printing and film and cultural forms such as the novel and the soap opera.

(c.) Critical theory is an umbrella term for a whole series of contemporary approaches to literary and cultural criticism, for example hermeneutics, semiotics, post-structuralism, ideology critique, psychoanalysis, ecocriticism and so on. Such theories are central to recent work in literary and cultural studies.

Criminology

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Political and Social Inquiry

Notes

At South Africa only a minor is offered.

Description

Crime is an issue that all citizens and governments confront on a daily basis. The causes of crime, the crime problem and how it should be dealt with, are the subject of intense debate. The criminology major, which is offered on the Caulfield and Clayton campuses, provides students with the skills to understand the complexities of crime, to learn about the various stages of the criminal justice system, to critically analyse its workings and tensions, and to explore alternative strategies. Criminology students can combine an interest in areas such as policing, courts, punishment and prisons, transnational crime and international justice, criminological theory, crime and the media, crime and politics, crime prevention and victims of crime in order to broaden their career options in criminal justice and allied areas.

Students learn to critically analyse issues of crime at the local, state, national, and global level. The first-year sequence introduces students to various facets of crime and how it is dealt with by the criminal justice system. Second and third-year units build on this knowledge gained and offer students the opportunity to critically analyse and evaluate crime-related issues in greater depth.

Graduates with a major or minor in criminology may find employment in a wide range of fields, including police, courts, corrections, human services, attorney-general departments, departments of justice, law reform commissions, ombudsman offices, anti-corruption commissions, local government and the private sector.

English

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of English, Communications and Performance Studies School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland, South Africa, Sunway

Notes

The sequence of units and units available differ between campuses. Refer to the individual campus entries below. A minor only is available at South Africa, Gippsland and via off-campus learning. Students at Sunway can only undertake a first-year sequence in this area of study.

Description

Caulfield, Clayton, South Africa and Sunway

Offered by the School of English, Communications and Performance Studies.

English offers a variety of units in the literatures of Britain, Australia, America, Asia, and in a range of related areas including academic, professional and creative writing.

In first year, students are introduced to the study of English through a choice of units. Each unit has a different focus, either on some aspect of literature in English or on the study of effective writing. Each aims to introduce students to a variety of modes of reading and to a number of ways of speaking and writing about what they read.

Second and third-year units in literature introduce students to the literature and culture of different historical periods. Related units are offered in the following fields: Australian studies, fairy tale, fantasy and children's literature, war literature and travel writing, critical theory, feminist theory and women's writing, postcolonial theory and literature, the languages of literature, literary and visual semiotics and performance studies, creative writing and professional writing. Students may select from these areas to develop their minor or major in English.

Students will find the expectations of English outlined in unit guides as they proceed through the degree. The school provides consultation and advice on choice of units at first, second, third and fourth-year levels to ensure that students choose suitable and coherent sequences.

It is expected that students intending to major in English will choose units which will provide them with:

a familiarity with a range of literary genres across a broad historical and cultural spectrum
an understanding of contemporary and historical modes of literary and critical theory
an understanding of the nature and construction of the discipline, including its historical and contemporary forms.

Gippsland and off-campus learning

Offered by the School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences.

English offers a sequence of units focusing on English language as it is used for a range of communicative and cultural purposes. The approach is interdisciplinary (drawing on linguistics, philosophy, sociology, communications as well as traditional disciplines of literary criticism) and the range of texts studied is diverse (including contemporary and canonical literature, formal and academic writing, popular fiction, poetry and journalism). The emphasis is on the complex relations between the texts we read for pleasure or craft to communicate with others and the social and intellectual conditions which give birth to them. In this way, English combines a love of reading with a passion for thinking, to provide a chance to understand and debate the significance and purpose of communication and culture in its many varied forms.

The English minor has been designed specifically to meet the needs of writing students and education students enrolled at Gippsland or via off-campus learning, but may be of interest to any students studying the humanities and seeking to improve their English literacy - an attribute increasingly valued by a range of employers. The English program aims to equip students with high levels of English language skills and cultural literacy, including developed aptitudes for the understanding and use of English for a variety of purposes, advanced skills in critical reading and interpretation, and an appreciation of the cultural and social history which has shaped the world we live in.

On completion of the English minor, students will have:

general competence in the understanding and use of English for a variety of purposes
a range of effective reading strategies, including strategies of evaluation, and advanced skills in close and critical reading
an appreciation of the complex relations between cultural and material history and between literature, life and society
an ability to debate the significance of literature and the various ways of engaging in literary interpretation
detailed knowledge of the aesthetic form and social context of production of a selection of key works in literary history.

French studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton, South Africa

Notes

A minor only is offered on the South Africa campus.

Description

The French studies program is designed to enable students to develop a high level of communicative competence in the French language (including translation skills and specialised registers such as business French), and a critical awareness of fundamental areas of French studies; literature, film, cultural studies, politics and social sciences. Students will develop writing and research skills appropriate to advanced independent study.

Language levels

French can be studied from introductory level (level 1) up to a level of near-native language proficiency (level 10). The French studies program has four entry points through four first-year sequences, each comprising a first and second semester unit. These entry points correspond to four levels of proficiency in the French language, ranging from beginners to advanced. Students who have completed VCE French with a score above 30 or an equivalent qualification will normally enrol in French studies level 5. To ensure that students are placed in the most appropriate level in the light of their individual profile and the best outcome they can expect to achieve, all students, except beginners, are required to undertake placement testing prior to the start of first semester and, where applicable, to provide a copy of their VCE results.

The French studies program convenor, in consultation with unit coordinators, retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Study abroad

All students have the opportunity to participate in the Language Study Abroad program in France or the francophone world. The French studies program has exchange agreements with the University of Lyon III and Paris III et l'Institut des Sciences Politiques (Sciences Po, Paris) for semester-length study abroad. It also provides for summer semester forms of study abroad for students who begin their French studies at levels 1-4. For detailed information see the French Studies Program Studies Abroad web page at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/french/ugrad/abroad.php. Students must obtain written approval from the French Studies program before enrolling. Grants for study abroad are available through Monash Abroad, to which applications should be addressed.

Major sequences - choosing the right entry point

Students wishing to undertake French studies have the option of starting in one of four entry points. The following sequences are provided as guides only. There are several ways to structure a French studies major, however if a student wishes to accelerate through the proficiency levels either by taking study abroad units or because their language acquisition results allow them to, they must consult with the language program before enrolling.

Gender studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Political and Social Inquiry
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton, Sunway

Notes

The sequence of units and units available differ between campuses. Refer to the individual campus entries below. At Sunway only a minor is offered. Only selected units are offered on the Caulfield campus. Caulfield students wishing to complete a minor or major in gender studies will need to travel to the Clayton campus.

Description

Gender studies is an exciting interdisciplinary field of inquiry broadly concerned with questions of gender, sexuality and culture. Gender studies is informed by the belief that all social processes are 'gendered' and studies in this area bring innovative theory and research techniques to the study of women's and men's lives, gendered status in society and the dilemmas and contradictions in gender relations and sexualities. Gender studies covers topics such as:

how gender issues are represented in film, literature, popular culture, advertising and the media
feminist and gender theory
the relationship between gender and crime
the connections between gender, consumption and marketing
feminist research methodology
how different cultures shape gender identities and sexualities
shifting cultural and historical forms of femininity and masculinity
how questions of sex or gender relate to questions of class and race
cross-cultural feminism.

The undergraduate program is designed to introduce students to a variety of feminist models of analysis and to assist them in developing a range of methodological skills. Gender studies units also foster the development of transferable professional skills among students. Units offered by the Centre for Women's Studies and Gender Research are complemented by a wide range of electives offered throughout the school and the faculty. Selected gender studies units may also be taken as electives within other majors in the school. Gender studies units are offered on the Clayton campus; some units are also offered at Caulfield and Sunway.

Geography and environmental science (ARTS)

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Geography and Environmental Science
Campus(es)	Clayton, South Africa

Description

The school's research and teaching program adopts an integrative approach for understanding and doing global, regional, and urban sustainability. It can be divided into four main thematic groups that span the traditional disciplinary divides of physical geography, human geography, and environmental management and incorporate analytical techniques such as geographic information systems:

Urban, regional and international development - investigates the changing relationships between the city and countryside, urban growth and change, industrialisation and rural development with particular attention to questions of, uneven development, regional inequality, and social justice.
Conservation of biological diversity and cultural heritage focuses on the distribution and character of the earth's vegetation, distinctive ecological, cultural, and indigenous landscapes shaped by human action.
Climate change and society investigates the functioning of the climate and atmosphere in the past, present, and future through a range of disciplinary approaches from earth systems science through to environmental policy.
Land and water management draws from scientific investigations in geomorphology, hydrology, and biogeography, as well as social science approaches to environmental and resource management.

Many geography units offer opportunities for field studies in different landscapes. These include day or weekend trips to study cities, coasts, alpine areas, soils, hydrology, climatology and meteorology, Australian Indigenous archaeology, tourism and environmental management. More extensive and lengthy excursions are also available, in particular on the themes of indigenous archaeology and regional sustainability (to regional Australia, South Africa and Italy). Basic laboratory techniques are also taught in selected physical geography and archaeology units.

German studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton

Description

German studies programs are designed for students wishing to specialise in German language, linguistics, literature and their relation to culture and society, and also for those seeking a broader outlook within the humanities and social sciences. At every level, students are required to engage in studies of German language and culture, practical language study and fundamental training in German culture and history as well as German linguistics. Optional units, offered at second and third-year levels, offer opportunities for diversification and specialisation in the fields of German literature and culture, media studies and German linguistics. These options are offered from level two (for linguistics) and three onwards.

The compulsory units are organised in streams, catering for different levels of language proficiency; beginners (entry point 1) through stage to a stage of near-native language proficiency (entry point 9). Depending on the units taken at first-year level, the sequences may lead either to an introductory minor or major or to an advanced minor or major. Students may also undertake further studies at honours, masters and doctorate-level in German linguistics, literature and cultural studies. Students should contact the program convenor for further advice.

Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The German studies program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Non-Arts students

In some non-Arts courses students are able to take Arts electives and count them towards their course. Students who decide that they want to study a language as part of their non-Arts course should discuss with their home faculty:

whether they are allowed to include language units as part of their course
check with their home faculty how many units/credit points they can study and at what year-level
how to select the appropriate language units in which to enrol.

Note: Because some students will be unable to study language as first-year level units, the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics has created second-year level codes to enable non-Arts students to complete the equivalent of a first-year sequence in their chosen language. Students wishing to enrol in these units must discuss any future enrolment with the relevant language program before enrolling.

Students who exit at level 10 or above will be awarded an 'Advanced German major', students who exit below level 10 will be awarded a 'Basic German major'.

Language Study Abroad program

The German studies program has ten active exchange agreements with German universities and cultural institutions. Students are encouraged to consider study abroad as part of a major sequence and/or an honours degree in German, linguistics or comparative literature and cultural studies. Funding may be available through Monash Abroad and the German Government. For detailed information contact the German studies program http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/german/index.php.

Students must obtain written approval from the German studies program before enrolling.

Note: Depending on the teaching institution, German study abroad units may be HECS-HELP liable or only available on a fee-paying basis.

Units

First-year sequence

A sequence is normally a first semester first-year level unit which is followed by a second semester first-year level unit in the same discipline.

Minor sequence

Students complete a standard minor chosen from one of the following options:

24 points of core language units
18 points of core language units plus one second-year level elective chosen from units listed below.

Major sequence

Students complete a standard major consisting of six core language units as listed below and also including two electives chosen from units that can be counted towards the discipline.

NOTE: Students may replace some of their core language units with alternate intensive in-country units (up to 24 points), or can choose language study abroad units as electives.

Major sequences - choosing the right entry point

Students wishing to undertake German studies have the option of starting in one of five entry points. The following sequences are provided as guides only.

History

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Philosophical, Historical and International Studies
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton

Description

History is a discipline that looks back at the past and tries to understand where we have come from as individuals, societies and national groups. In part therefore, history may be said to be the study and representation of past events, lives, places, ideas and institutions. This means history is full of fascinating and exciting stories that connect and resonate with - but also counterpoint - our own. But history also looks to the past for understandings about the origin of things. How did the notion of democracy arise? Why do most of us live in cities? When was the expression 'teenager' first used? Why are certain nation's implacable enemies? What made the United States the most powerful country in the world? Investigating the past, we learn more about ourselves.

Students may construct a sequence, minor or major in history by selecting units spread geographically across the fields of Asian, European, North American and Australian history or by following a more specialised sequence based upon a particular field or theme. Students are advised to seek further information from School course advisers.

Students are also encouraged to study foreign languages in fields relevant to their historical interests. The School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics offers a number of units for beginners.

Human rights theory

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Philosophical, Historical and International Studies
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton

Description

In the era of globalisation, one of the most important concepts in international affairs is the idea of human rights. Human rights theory is an interdisciplinary major area of study, which examines the history and the nature of human rights, including basic conceptual issues such as:

What are human rights?
Are human rights culturally relative?
Is it possible for human rights to conflict with other requirements of justice?
How do human rights relate to institutions like the United Nations?

Students also examine how these theoretical issues relate to pressing practical problems, for instance, how an understanding of human rights theory helps to address issues such as global poverty, unequal access to medicine, free trade, terrorism, warfare, humanitarian intervention, torture, surveillance, and more.

Human rights theory is an excellent complement to studies in law, criminology, journalism, international studies, philosophy, history, development studies and sustainability. Students of human rights theory will acquire strong analytic abilities and communication skills, and will have expertise in areas that are of relevance to employers in the NGO sector, a wide variety of professions and in the federal and state public service and its statutory authorities

Indonesian

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton

Notes

Also available via off-campus learning and in-country study modes.

Description

The Indonesian language program aims to facilitate students' progress towards a high level of communications skills in a cross-cultural setting. The discipline involves the integration of language skills in standard Indonesian with knowledge of the broader social and cultural contexts of Indonesia. Students have the choice to move between available modes or between campuses during their progression through the program.

Not all language proficiency levels are offered on every campus every year. Students should refer to the individual unit entries in this Handbook to view campus offering details. As a result, some students may need to complete later year units at another campus.

All Indonesian language students are encouraged to enrol in Indonesian studies units to complement their language study.

Students who exit at level 10 or above will be awarded an 'Advanced Indonesian major', students who exit below level 10 will be awarded a 'Basic Indonesian major'.

Right of School to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The Indonesian program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Language Study Abroad program

In collaboration with the Indonesian studies program and Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, the Indonesian program at Monash is able to offer students the facility of completing one level of study in-country in intensive mode (normally six weeks). This is available at each level except first-year level, and teaching normally occurs over the summer period. Based on results obtained, students gain credit toward their Monash degree, and can fast-track their studies while gaining valuable experience of Indonesian life.

Students must obtain written approval from the Indonesian studies program before enrolling. For further details please contact in-country coordinator Yacinta Kurniasih or visit the Indonesian studies in-country program web page at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/indonesian/incountry/index.php.

Note: The Indonesian in-country program is only available on a fee-paying basis. The appropriate fee is paid to Gadjah Mada University, and both tuition and accommodation are covered, however students may be eligible to apply for Monash Abroad Study grants.

Teaching language requirements

Students intending to teach language will need to complete an advanced major with an equivalent of three years post-VCE study.

Units

First-year sequence

A sequence is normally a first semester first-year level unit which is followed by a second semester first-year level unit in the same discipline.

Minor sequence

Students complete a standard minor chosen from one of the following options:

24 points of core language units
18 points of core language units plus one second-year level elective chosen from units listed below.

Major sequence

NOTE: Students may replace some of their core language units with alternate intensive in-country units (up to 24 points), or can choose language study abroad units as electives.

Major sequences - choosing the right entry point

Students wishing to undertake Indonesian have the option of starting at one of four entry points. The following sequences are provided as a guide only. There are several ways to structure an Indonesian major, but those students wishing to accelerate through the program either by taking study abroad units or after being tested, must consult with the language program before enrolling.

Notes

Students complete the same units in the first-year sequence, however the sequence of units and units available at second/third-year level differ between campuses. Refer to the individual campus entries below. At the Berwick campus, only a first year sequence is offered.

Description

International studies is a cross-disciplinary area of study administered by the School of Historical Studies, with units taught by a number of schools in the Faculty of Arts. Students begin by examining the history of the 20th century before moving on to study the issues facing the world in the 21st century. International studies brings to life the issues and events that have shaped, and continue to shape, our world. As the world globalises and nations and economies become more integrated, it is important to understand our world and the ideas and beliefs of our neighbours and trading partners. In order to compete in the international marketplace of products, ideas and knowledge, we need to understand and respect the cultures and beliefs of others.

Italian studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton

Description

The Italian studies program aims to assist students as they gradually develop their linguistic competence, both passive (understanding and reading) and active (speaking and writing). It also helps students to expand their knowledge of important areas of Italian culture; history, society, language, literature, film and theatre. Each proficiency level sequence has a cultural component as well as a language component. Italian has four entry points, all of which lead to either a minor or a major sequence. Students who complete a major sequence with good results may undertake honours at fourth-year level. A level six exit point is the minimum required for entry to the honours year.

Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The Italian studies program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Non-Arts students

In some non-Arts courses students are able to take Arts electives and count them towards their course.

Students who decide that they want to study a language as part of their non-Arts course should:

discuss with their home faculty whether they are allowed to include language units as part of their course
check with their home faculty how many units/credit points they may study and at what year-level
how to select the appropriate language units in which to enrol.

Language Study Abroad program

Grants are available to second and third-year students who intend to study in Italy. Students have the possibility of attending intensive six-point units at first and second-year level at the Monash University Prato Centre. Honours students are strongly encouraged to study for one semester in an Italian university (preferably at the University of Florence or at the University of Bologna) as part of their honours degree. See the lists of units below.

Note: Depending on the teaching institution, Italian study abroad units may be CSP-liable or only available on a fee-paying basis. Students may be eligible to apply for Monash Study Abroad grants.

Units

Japanese

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton

Description

The Japanese studies program offers units in Japanese language, and in Japanese studies (see the Japanese studies entry in this section of the Handbook). A major and a minor are available in both of these areas of study.

The Japanese language program currently provides instruction in the Japanese language from six possible entry levels each semester, catering for students ranging from beginners to semi-native speakers. Students will be placed in classes appropriate to their ability, which will vary according to their previous study (at school and at other institutions) and their experience in Japan.

Students with previous study of Japanese will be placed in the appropriate level at the start of their studies. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Once students' starting points are determined, they will progress through the compulsory language units in sequence. Within the Japanese major, students also take additional elective units in language or in Japanese or Asian studies. Higher-level language study is available through the honours and postgraduate programs.

Students attend weekly lectures and tutorials, and learn through interacting with teachers, classmates and Japanese people in and out of the classroom and through the use of information technology.

Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The Japanese program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student.

Study in Japan - exchange programs

The Japanese program has been active in developing exchanges and there are now agreements with 12 Japanese institutions. While each exchange has its own features, collectively they provide a wide range of opportunities for students to study in Japan. The credit arrangements vary and need to be clearly verified with the Japanese exchange program coordinator before a student can be assured of receiving credit. Language units and Japanese studies units can be taken in Japan as a substitute for compulsory units in Japanese language or in Japanese studies. The first half of the honours program can also be spent in Japan. Students wishing to study in Japan are encouraged to take both Japanese language and Japanese studies units. A range of scholarships are available from the university and from the Japanese Government.

For further information visit http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/japanese/about/exchanges.php or contact the exchange program coordinator within the Japanese program.

Study in Japan - Kanazawa program (intensive summer course)

The Japanese program currently runs a 10-week, fee-paying, in-country language study program with Ishikawa Prefecture. Students can complete two semesters of study (12 points) on an intensive basis. Students are eligible to apply for Monash Study Abroad grants. The program allows students to understand more about Japanese culture and society, as well as language. Contact the in-country program coordinator within the Japanese program for further information.

Berwick, Gippsland and off-campus learning

Offered by the School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences

Journalism is in a period of dramatic change, driven by technological advances and a paradigm shift in how citizens consume (and create) news. As newspapers confront the greatest challenge to their survival since their inception, the expanding world of online reportage is capturing global attention - and so the focus in this dynamic journalism program reflects the challenges of media industries. Students and the study program adapt, reflect and move with these developments. Students learn the vital professional skills required for a career in journalism, while also exploring broader issues of newsroom culture, the implications of technology on journalism practice, ethical journalism, and the media's influential role in the democratic system. Journalism has developed its own methods and practice, its own code of ethics, and a constantly developing body of theory to help understand the rapidly changing world of mass communications.

Korean and Korean studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton

Description

The Korean studies program is designed for students who wish to acquire Korean language skills and understand Korean culture and society. The units offered are useful to students who aspire to a professional career in business or government, communication, education and other fields.

Korean language teaching incorporates interactive and online resources to enhance learning and bring Korean culture to the classroom. Introducing Hangul, a phonetic writing system, enables students to type in Korean from the beginner level. Higher-level students are strongly encouraged to engage in online discussions in Korean.

Korean language can be studied from basic to lower intermediate level. The focus is on enabling students to communicate in Korean in a broad range of situations, and the use of Korean in various genre areas such as business, journalism, science, law and tourism. Socio-cultural aspects in these areas are also explored.

Students may complete a major sequence and honours in Korean studies. A minor sequence in Korean studies is also available, combining units offered by the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics with units offered by other schools. Combined honours may be taken in the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics and another discipline.

Placement tests are required for those students who intend to enrol in the lower intermediate level. The Korean language program will conduct the test.

Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The Korean program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Non-Arts students

In some non-Arts courses students are able to take Arts electives and count them towards their course.

Students who decide that they want to study a language as part of their non-Arts course should discuss with their home faculty :

whether they are allowed to include language units as part of their course
check with their home faculty how many units/credit points they may study and at what year-level
how to select the appropriate language units in which to enrol.

Language Study Abroad program

Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Language Study Abroad program in Korea. Korean studies has exchange agreements with three prominent universities (Korea University, Seoul National University and Yonsei University). While each exchange has its own features, collectively they provide a wide range of opportunities for students to study in Korea. For detailed information contact the Korean studies program via http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/korean/index.php Credit arrangements vary and need to be clearly verified with the coordinator before a student can be assured of receiving credit.

Grants for study may be available through Monash Abroad, to whom applications should be addressed. Third and fourth-year students may also apply for a Korean Government scholarship.

Note: Depending on the teaching institution, study abroad units may be CSP-liable or only available on a fee-paying basis.

Units

First-year sequence

A sequence is normally a first semester first-year level unit which is followed by a second semester first-year level unit in the same discipline.

Minor sequence

Students complete a standard minor chosen from one of the following options:

24 points of core language units
18 points of core language units plus one second-year level elective chosen from units listed below.

Major sequence

Students complete a standard major consisting of six core language units as listed below and also including two electives chosen from units that can be counted towards the discipline.

NOTE: Students may replace some of their core language units with alternate intensive in-country units (up to 24 points), or can choose language study abroad units as electives.

Major sequences - choosing the right entry point

Students wishing to undertake Korean have the option of starting in one of four entry points. Placement tests are required for all but entry point 1. The following sequences are provided as guides only. Study abroad units can be taken in place of any units with the permission of the program.

Linguistics

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton

Notes

Most units are also available via off-campus learning, although some later-year units may only be available in on-campus mode.

Description

Linguistics is the study of the structure and function of language and of the uses of language in communication, including written, spoken and 'cyber' contexts. Linguistics explores how languages differ and what they all share, and provides the techniques and principles to be adopted in the analysis and description of any given language. In addition, the linguistic study of language and language use in socio-cultural contexts contributes to our understanding of identities, social and cultural organisation, multiculturalism and multilingualism, institutions and power, as well as the creative functions of language in texts and discourses. Knowledge of linguistics is central to the study of languages (e.g. English, Australian Aboriginal languages, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish). Linguistics also offers students of anthropology, mathematics, philosophy, sociology, engineering, psychology, law, translation studies and computer science, useful insights into the nature of language in their particular area of interest.

Examples of the practical applications of linguistics include communications within organisations, communications interfaces with electronic systems, the preparation of materials for language teaching, the documentation of endangered languages, the development of language policies in government and education, and in the areas of business, professional and technical communication, tourism, intercultural communication and speech therapy.

The first-year sequence provides students with an introduction to the nature of language, including the manner in which sounds are produced and represented (phonetics), the organisation and relationship of sounds in language (phonology), the forms and structures of words (morphology), the organisation of words in sentences (syntax), the analysis of meaning (semantics and pragmatics), language change (historical linguistics) and language variation and the uses of language in social contexts (sociolinguistics).

At second and third year levels, the areas of syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics, phonology, and sociolinguistics are developed on a general and comparative basis and there are also units exploring varieties of English, historical and comparative linguistics, Aboriginal languages, Austronesian languages, discourse analysis, language and identity, psycholinguistics, first and second language acquisition, intercultural communication, endangered languages, multiliteracies in English and the structure of English.

Linguistics also offers a fourth-year honours program which combines coursework and a 24-point research thesis as the foundation for postgraduate research degrees.

Off-campus learning and online resource delivery

Most linguistics units are also offered by off-campus learning or by a combination of online resources and face-to-face teaching. These units are usually available in the same semester as the on-campus delivery of the unit. The access to online resources and off-campus learning allows for flexibility, and face-to-face class commitments are kept to a minimum. Alternative arrangements include the use of the Monash portal and electronic group discussion programs. In addition to the online or print resources, students can access tutorial support by telephone, fax and email. The intention is that the flexible learning program should make linguistics units available to students whose work or other commitments make it difficult for them to attend regular classes on-campus. The following units can be undertaken on-campus, or through flexible mode using online resources: ATS1338, ATS1339, ATS2665/ATS3665, ATS2674/ATS3674, ATS2675/ATS3675, ATS2678/ATS3678, ATS2671/ATS3671, ATS2680/ATS3680 and ATS2683/ATS3683.

For more details on flexible learning units, contact the linguistics program or visit the website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/linguistics.

Study Abroad

Students may apply to study linguistics abroad. A list of exchange partner universities is available from the Study Abroad website at http://www.monash.edu.au/students/studyabroad/programs/partners/index.html.

Students should select a shortlist of suitable linguistics units from the exchange partner universities in which they are interested. Units to be taken abroad need to be approved by the linguistics program at Monash before the commencement of the trip. Please submit the unit titles (and synopsis if available), assessment details and total number of contact hours to Dr Anna Margetts at anna.margetts@arts.monash.edu.au or contact the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics at LCL.Enquiries@arts.monash.edu.au

Modern Greek

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton

Notes

First-year sequence only currently available.

Description

Modern Greek is spoken by about 11 million people in Greece and Cyprus, and in various Greek communities of the diaspora. It is an Indo-European language, but unlike French or German it has no close relatives among modern European languages. Beginners will find that a good many Modern Greek words and roots are already familiar to them from our scientific and technical vocabulary. Knowledge of ancient Greek can help the student of the modern language, but it is by no means a prerequisite.

The units offered focus on the culture and literature of the Greeks over the past 200 years and introduce students to the enticing rhythm of life in modern Greece, the definitive crossroads between west and east, Europe and Asia.

Currently, there are two one-year sequences* available in Modern Greek, catering for students who are beginners, or who have completed VCE Modern Greek. If there is sufficient demand, more units may be added in future, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Students completing the post-VCE sequence in Modern Greek with a high level of achievement, and who obtain an undergraduate qualification, may be eligible to further their studies through course 3921 Master in Interpreting and Translation Studies. Further information about eligibility may be obtained from the school.

* Second year codes are also available for these units, for students in other faculties taking the unit as an elective who are unable to take the first year unit. In addition, fourth and fifth year codes are available to allow these units to be taken at graduate level in courses which permit them.

Units

Students studying a sequence in Modern Greek must complete two units (12 points) from the following:

ATS1241/ATS2241 Modern Greek 1 (Beginners)
ATS1242/ATS2242 Modern Greek 2 (Beginners)
ATS1245/ATS2245 Modern Greek 5 (post-VCE)
ATS1246/ATS2246 Modern Greek 6 (post-VCE)

Music

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Music - Conservatorium
Campus(es)	Clayton

Description

The School of Music at Monash is consistently ranked among the best music schools in Australia and leads the country in internationally recognised ethnomusicology research. The school attracts students and visiting academics from all over the world and has an outstanding track record in winning competitive research funding.

The school offers a wide-ranging undergraduate program and a variety of postgraduate degrees in performance, composition, musicology and ethnomusicology. With modern facilities, unique archival collections, scholarship opportunities and a reputation for supervision excellence, the Monash School of Music is home to a vibrant, nurturing and productive environment.

Disciplines

The School of Music - Conservatorium teaches, researches, and promotes public outreach in four fields of musical endeavour: performance, composition, musicology and enthnomusicology. Students specialise in one or more fields, but gain experience in a unified way in all four areas.

Performance

Students with a strong musical aptitude undertaking this specialisation are expected to acquire an assured technique and an awareness of the history of performance style and practice. Students develop their performance skills as well as interactive musical skills in a variety of ensembles. Throughout the program students are examined on both solo and ensemble work.

Composition

Students undertaking this specialisation can expect to acquire experience and skills in music composition. The program offers supervision of students' compositional projects and encourages work in various media, including traditional, electronic, and contemporary solo and ensemble combinations. The School of Music - Conservatorium organises a number of large and small instrumental and ensemble choral groups and encourages performances of student compositions.

Musicology or ethnomusicology

Students who choose either of these specialisations, or a combination of both, can expect to develop their knowledge and understanding of music to prepare themselves as musicologists and/or ethnomusicologists, studying the music history of various genres, research methods and aspects of systematic musicology such as performance practice, analysis, aesthetics, criticism, music sociology and psychology of music.

In the ethnomusicology stream, students make detailed area studies of selected music cultures of Asia and/or Africa, and may learn to perform in an Indonesian gamelan and in other Asian and African traditions as appropriate for a particular unit for which a student enrols.

Notes

Also available via off-campus learning, although some later-year units may only be available in on-campus mode. Units are available in South Africa, however to complete a minor/major some units would need to be taken via off-campus learning.

Description

Philosophy is the study of fundamental ideas about the world we live in. It questions the nature of our world, asks what would constitute a good life in such a world, and asks what could be done to make it better.

Students are not expected to be persuaded by the doctrines of any one school or tradition. Rather, studies in philosophy seeks to deepen the understanding of a variety of different world views. Students are encouraged to express any conclusions they themselves may have reached concerning foundational questions, but they are also expected to try to understand some of the influential conclusions others have reached. Furthermore, it is essential that students try to understand what reasons people have had for reaching those conclusions. Thus, students are strongly encouraged to study the theory of reasoning (logic) if they intend to major in philosophy.

The following are some other areas of study that are central to philosophy:

Metaphysics is the study of what sorts of things exist in the world, and how they are related: for instance, whether there is a mind or soul and if so, how it is related to the body.
Epistemology is the study of what constitutes knowledge of the world, and of what methods can be used to obtain it.
Ethics and aesthetics investigate what it is to make value judgements, and how such judgements can be justified.
Political philosophy attempts to discover the principles that underlie the structure of a good society.
Philosophy of language investigates the notions of meaning, truth and linguistic understanding.
Philosophy of mind studies the nature of the conscious mind.

Every human inquiry rests on general assumptions, which people take for granted while pursuing more particular goals. At times however, in any discipline, foundational questions arise. Anyone facing such questions, in any discipline, is studying philosophy. Thus, for any discipline, there is an area of study appropriately described as the philosophy of that discipline, for example the philosophy of history, of psychology, of biology, of science, of law, of mathematics, and so on.

Sometimes these foundational questions within a discipline can profitably be explored by philosophers as well as by specialists in that discipline. Philosophers can draw connections between the foundational problems arising in one discipline and those arising in other disciplines. They can also attempt to integrate different disciplines, at a foundational level, into a coherent overall world view.

Because the focus of philosophical concerns varies enormously, the school provides a wide range of options for study while at the same time attempting to ensure that students have some acquaintance with the central problems and traditions in philosophy.

Philosophy provides skills in reasoning and argument that are applicable in a wide variety of professions as well as the opportunity to engage in a reflective appraisal of our place in the universe.

Resource-based teaching and the philosophy flexible delivery program

Sufficient philosophy units are offered in flexible mode to complete a major. All these units can be taken in any semester and are flexibly scheduled so that class commitments are kept to a minimum. Flexible learning mode units are also available in the summer and in off-campus learning mode. These units use materials prepared specifically for off-campus students, but there is also a tutorial support service operating by telephone, fax and email. These basic resources are usually supplemented by workshops. Attendance at these workshops is optional. The intention is that the flexible learning program should make philosophy units available to students whose work or other commitments make it difficult for them to attend regular classes on-campus.

Closely associated with resource-based teaching is an alternative assessment program. The Keller Plan is used in most of these units. In the plan, a series of assessment tasks are completed in a specified order. Typically, the series involves short exercises, an essay and tests. Each task has to be completed at a satisfactory standard before moving on to the next, but students nominate the standard to count as satisfactory (pass, credit or distinction) and can retry on any task until that standard is achieved.

Politics

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Political and Social Inquiry
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton

Description

Politics is a very broad discipline, which tends to overlap continually with all the other major humanities and social science disciplines. It is, therefore, an excellent discipline for learning about the interrelationships that exist in the human world, and for acquiring a diverse range of interpretive, analytic and synthetic (especially conceptual) skills. The discipline is not just concerned with the study of government, policy or political institutions; it also studies resource allocation, decision making, social behaviour and political action, the management or resolution of conflict, power struggles, the struggle for political freedom, ideologies and political movements, the nature of the state and relations between states. It is especially concerned with the nature of power and authority, with 'practical understanding', with the relations between theory and practice, and with the series of arguments which are created by the continual struggle by human beings to maintain their social existence and to devise more desirable and more satisfactory forms of human community.

Politics at Monash aims to offer students up-to-date coverage and explanation of many aspects of the contemporary world - developed and underdeveloped - coupled with a solid intellectual grounding in the key debates, texts and traditions of inquiry that one finds in the humanities and social sciences. The Monash politics program specialises in three broad areas:

politics and governance: Australia and the world
international relations and global politics
political theory and philosophy.

Students may specialise in one or more of these areas, but are encouraged to choose their units so as to explore the different approaches to political studies.

Psychology (ARTS)

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Psychology and Psychiatry
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton, South Africa, Sunway

Notes

Administrated and taught by the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. Arts students can count psychology units towards the core arts component of their degree. Units are also available via off-campus learning.

Description

Psychology is concerned with a wide range of phenomena including remembering and forgetting, thinking, problem-solving, learning, the acquisition of skills, language, seeing and hearing, decision-making, verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and emotions. It is also concerned with the practical and ethical applications of psychology research to the profession. While the major focus is on people, animals are also studied because they are of interest in their own right. Monash undergraduate psychology embraces all of these topics at each of the campuses.

Students may complete single units, a major or minor in psychology towards the core arts component of their Bachelor of Arts degree or associated double degrees.

Notes

The major is only available in the Bachelor of Professional Communication and the Bachelor of Arts (Professional Communication). Graduates from these courses who complete the nine unit major in public relations are eligible to receive accreditation by the Public Relations Institute of Australia.

Description

The Public Relations industry is in a state of continuous growth and evolution. Corporate, government and not-for-profit organisations are always in search of public relations professionals to assist them with their strategic communication needs. PR graduates can expect to find employment in private sector, government and not-for-profit organisations.

As the public relations profession is increasingly becoming holistic, the PR practitioner is required to perform many different roles. To succeed, they must not only understand the needs of their clients, but must also be aware of industry trends and developments, and be attuned to the needs of their target audience. The skills necessary for this profession include: effective writing, critical thinking, active listening, decision-making, social perceptiveness, persuasiveness and an orientation towards service.

At Monash, public relations is accredited by the Public Relations Institute of Australia, and is designed to equip students with the relevant and necessary skills for the profession. Students will learn the rationale behind public relations practices, critically analyse case studies and learn practical skills such as giving effective oral presentations. Monash graduates have gone on to become consultants and specialists in media relations, internal communication, publicity and events, government relations, public affairs, political communication, crisis and issues management in business and non-business sectors such as healthcare, finance, information technology, community services and government.

Today, every worthwhile organisation understands the value of public relations and the critical role it plays in organisational survival. Public relations is primarily about building and maintaining relationships for the mutual benefit of those involved.

Religion and theology

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	Centre for Studies in Religion and Theology School of Philosophical, Historical and International Studies

Description

All human cultures reflect on the meaning of life through myth, symbol and abstract reflection. Studying the religions and theologies of different cultures, within a variety of historical contexts is both an important intellectual exercise and a fascinating process that provokes many questions about the past, the present and the future. The Centre for Studies in Religion and Theology was established in order to promote interdisciplinary teaching and research in the areas of religion and theology. The centre has established extensive links with the Melbourne College of Divinity and offers symposia, workshops and seminars in which research into religion and theology is presented and discussed. The centre is devoted to the critical study of a wide range of religious traditions, as interpreted both in the past and in the contemporary world. It is also concerned with thinking about the ways in which specific religious traditions (in particular Islam, Judaism, and Christianity) engage in intellectual reflection on a wide range of specific issues, such as the nature of God, ethics, social issues, gender, the environment and the meaning of life.

Sociology

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences School of Political and Social Inquiry
Campus(es)	Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland, South Africa

Notes

The sequence of units and units available differ between campuses. Refer to the individual campus entries below. At South Africa only a minor is available. Also available via off-campus learning, although some later-year units may only be available in on-campus mode.

Description

Caulfield, Clayton

Offered by the School of Political and Social Inquiry

The focus of sociological teaching and research is the study of industrial and post-industrial societies in a global context. It involves the investigation of diverse human groups, communities, institutions and organisations, and the networks of meaning and association that link individuals and groups to the broader social structures of such societies. The wide range of units available is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore broad theoretical and methodological issues. Sociology employs both classical and contemporary perspectives and uses a diverse range of interpretive, analytical and research skills in order to develop a critical understanding of the social institutions and processes of industrial and post-industrial societies.

Introductory sociology introduces students to a variety of perspectives and substantive areas of sociology: socialisation, deviance, the family, sexualities and gender, industrialisation and globalisation, class and social inequality. In later years, sociological theories and methods are examined in greater detail. A wide range of electives are available, manyof which give students an understanding of the diverse aspects of Australian culture in its global context.

Gippsland and off-campus learning

Offered by the School of Humanities, Communication and Social Sciences

Sociology is the study of social life. Since all human behaviour is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organised crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the large-scale issues of global development and social change to the more immediate issues of everyday relationships within our family, friends and communities. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organisations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Its broad scope and relevance for research, theory, and application of knowledge makes sociology one of the most versatile and valuable university majors.

Spanish and Latin American studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton

Description

Spanish and Latin American studies are designed for students wishing to specialise in the Spanish language and Spanish and Latin American cultures, societies, literature, film and linguistics, and also for those requiring a broad education in the humanities. Language study is a compulsory part of Spanish and Latin American studies and is designed to enable students to develop a high level of communicative competence (including specialised registers and translation skills). The study of Spanish and Latin American history and culture is conducted from first year. Optional units, covering Spain and Latin America are introduced from the second year and aim to develop a critical awareness of fundamental areas of Spanish and Latin American studies including linguistics, literature, cultural theory and film. All programs develop writing and research skills appropriate to advanced independent study.

Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The Spanish and Latin American studies program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Non-Arts students

whether they are allowed to include language units as part of their course
how many units/credit points they may or must study and at what year-level/s
how to select the appropriate language units in which to enrol.

Note: Because some students will be unable to study language as first-year level units, the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics have created second-year level codes to enable non-Arts students to complete the equivalent of a first-year sequence in their chosen language. Students wishing to enrol in these units, must discuss any future enrolment with the relevant language program before enrolling.

Language Study Abroad program

Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Language Study Abroad Program in Spain or Latin America. The Spanish and Latin American studies program has exchange agreements with three universities in Chile, Mexico and Spain (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain, and Tec de Monterrey, Mexico). Students should contact the program study abroad coordinators as early as possible for further details on the units they may take abroad.

Students can choose to study an intensive language-culture course at an overseas institution in a Spanish and Latin American nation in semesters one or two, or over summer. For detailed information see the Spanish and Latin American studies program.

Note: Depending on the teaching institution, Spanish and Latin American study abroad units may be CSP-liable or only available on a fee-paying basis. Students may be eligible to apply for Monash Abroad Study grants.

Students must obtain written approval from the Spanish and Latin American studies program before enrolling. For further details contact Marisa Cordella at Marisa.Cordella@arts.monash.edu.au.

Units

First-year sequence

A sequence is normally a first semester first-year level unit which is followed by a second semester first-year level unit in the same discipline.

Minor sequence

Students complete a standard minor chosen from one of the following options:

24 points of core language units
18 points of core language units plus one second-year level elective chosen from units listed below.

Major sequence

Students complete a standard major consisting of six core language units as listed below and also including two electives chosen from units that can be counted towards the discipline.

NOTE: Students may replace some of their core language units with alternate intensive in-country units (up to 24 points), or can choose language study abroad units as electives.

Major sequences - choosing the right entry point

Students wishing to undertake Spanish and Latin American studies have the option of starting at one of three entry points. The following sequences are provided as guides only. There are several ways to structure a Spanish and Latin American studies major, however students wishing to accelerate through the proficiency levels either by taking study abroad units or because language acquisition results allow, must consult with the language program before enrolling.

Ukrainian studies

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
Campus(es)	Clayton

Description

The Mykola Zerov Centre for Ukrainian Studies offers Ukrainian in a beginners and an advanced stream. Both can be taken for one, two or three years to achieve a sequence, minor or major in Ukrainian studies. Both streams feature composite units, which aim not only to develop students' competence in the written and spoken language, but also to introduce them to modern Ukrainian literature, culture and history, as well as the political life of the Ukraine today.

Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment

The Ukrainian studies program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.

Non-Arts students

In some non-Arts courses students are able to take Arts electives and count them towards their course. Students who decide that they want to study a language as part of their non-Arts course should:

discuss with their home faculty whether they are allowed to include language units as part of their course
check with their home faculty how many units/credit points they can study and at what year-level
select the appropriate language units in which to enrol.

Note: Because some students will be unable to study language as first-year level units, the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics has created second-year level codes to enable non-Arts students to complete the equivalent of a first-year sequence in their chosen language. Students wishing to enrol in these units, must discuss any future enrolment with the relevant language program before enrolling.

Language Study Abroad program

The centre has links to universities in L'viv and Kyiv and encourages students to take one semester of study in the Ukraine. Students can choose to study an approved subject in Ukrainian at a foreign institution in semester one or two. For detailed information contact the Ukrainian studies program.

Note: Depending on the teaching institution, Ukrainian study abroad units may be CSP-liable or only available on a fee-paying basis. Students may be eligible to apply for Monash Abroad Study grants.

Units

First-year sequence

A sequence is normally a first semester first-year level unit which is followed by a second semester first-year level unit in the same discipline.

Minor sequence

Students complete a standard minor chosen from one of the following options:

24 points of core language units
18 points of core language units plus one second-year level elective chosen from units listed below.

Major sequence

Students complete a standard major consisting of six core language units as listed below and also including two electives chosen from units that can be counted towards the discipline.

NOTE: Students may replace some of their core language units with alternate intensive in-country units (up to 24 points), or can choose language study abroad units as electives.

Major sequences - choosing the right entry point

Students wishing to undertake Ukrainian have the option of starting in one of two entry points. The following sequences are provided as guides only. There are several ways to structure your Ukrainian studies major. Students who wish to accelerate through the proficiency levels either by taking Study Abroad units or because language acquisition results allow this, must consult with the program before enrolling.

Urban, regional and international development

Managing faculty	Faculty of Arts
Offered by	School of Geography and Environmental Science
Campus(es)	Clayton

Description

Cities have always played an important role in linking different economic activities, innovation, trade, social relations, and cultural identities of regions and countries. In the 21st century, and for the very first time in human history, the proportion of the world's population living in urban areas exceeds those living in rural areas. This global urban transition has immense consequences at both national and international levels in terms of demand for natural resources, infrastructure, and local governance for ensuring urban and regional prosperity, equitable development and social justice, and ecological and cultural resilience in the face of climate change. This interdisciplinary area of study, administered by the School of Geography and Environmental Science, focuses on the changing relationships between the city and countryside, uneven global development, urban growth and change, industrialisation and rural development. Students undertaking this area of study will develop analytical skills, practical and field-based experience, basic and applied research abilities that will enable them to pursue careers in urban and regional development, population and housing policy, spatial economic policy making, international development and environment agencies, and non-governmental organisations committed to social justice and human rights-based development.

Units

Offered by	Department of Theory of Art and Design
Campus(es)	Clayton

Notes

Offered by the Faculty of Art and Design with a number of units being taught by the Faculty of Arts. Some units will require travel to Caulfield campus.

Description

Visual culture involves a critical engagement with all types of visual expression and communication in society, ranging from the traditional fine arts such a painting and sculpture to recent visual media such as photography, advertising, fashion, film, and cyber-culture.

Various approaches are employed to explore the meaning of the visual. Some units emphasise the social and historical understanding of visual images, frequently drawing on the fields of recent gender or cultural studies, theories of ideology or postcolonial theory. Others consider the visual in the light of psychoanalysis or post-structuralism and methods of deconstruction pertinent to the discipline.

Students may complete single units, a major or minor in visual culture towards the core arts component of their arts degree. Honours is also available.

Students wishing to undertake studio based units from the Faculty of Art and Design must obtain written approval from that faculty before enrolling in units.

Description

The writing major provides a sequence of units which enables students to gain an understanding of a range of writing practices in the context of media and communication studies, contemporary cultural theory, and analyses of literary and other media forms. Units in writing enable students to become familiar with different kinds of contemporary writing, especially prose forms, and to acquire detailed knowledge of a range of techniques associated with contemporary cultural production. Upper-level units provide students with the opportunity to reflect critically on their own writing practices while developing and applying skills and techniques though individual and collaborative projects. The emphasis through the major is on exploring the many forms and possibilities of writing by contextualising writing practice through reflection on a range of textual histories and cultural theories.
