Major sequence

Students who wish to follow a major sequence in history must, in their second year, take second-year level history to the value of at least sixteen points, and in their third year take third-year level history subjects to the value of at least twenty-four points. The number of points taken at second and third year must total at least forty.

Students taking a major in history are strongly recommended to take HSY3060 (Uses of the past) or HSY3080 (Reading history) as one of their three eight-point subjects at third year. Most second-year subjects offered are also available at third-year level.

Students enrolling in or after 1996 should note that the Arts faculty regulations now require that a major sequence in a discipline is to be comprised of a minimum of two six-point subjects at first year, a minimum of two eight-point subjects at second year and, at third year, a minimum of three eight-point subjects.

Students may construct a major sequence in history by selecting subjects spread across the fields of Asian, European, Australian and American history or by following a more specialised sequence based upon a particular subject, field or theme. Some examples of courses constructed within particular fields are:

	First year	Second year	Third year
Asian
First semester Second semester	HSY1050 HSY1060	HSY2190 HSY2120	HSY3170 plus HSY3060 or HSY3080 HSY3220
Australian
First semester Second semester	HSY1030 HSY1040	HSY2780 HSY2850	HSY3420 plus HSY3060 or HSY3080 HSY3260
Modern European
First semester Second semester	HSY1070 HSY1080	HSY2530 HSY2540	HSY3580 plus HSY3060 or HSY3080 HSY3840
Some examples of majors constructed to follow certain themes are:
Cultural/social history
First semester Second semester	HSY1010 HSY1020	HSY2600 HSY2050	HSY3420 plus HSY3060 or HSY3080 HSY3630
Contemporary history
First semester Second semester	HSY1150 HSY1040	HSY2780 HSY2850	HSY3190 plus HSY3060 or HSY3080 HSY3570

These combinations are suggestions only; students are advised to seek further information from Department of History course advisers.
