The major provides students with a structured program of study of history and politics. The subjects are designed to build up, in a systematic way, significant bodies of knowledge on the history and politics of Europe, Australia, Asia and the major world powers. Students are provided with a systematic development of learning skills - including skills in reading, information retrieval, oral and written communications, and methodological approaches and research techniques.
The application of knowledge of political systems and structures is developed in public and social policy studies for students in the Bachelor of Arts (Humanities and Social Sciences) and in other courses. The history-politics major provides a stimulating course which will give students a high level of academic competence in the study of continuity and change in human society and a deeper understanding of the nature of the past and the modern world. (Subjects marked * indicate those subjects that are compulsory for a major sequence).
To meet the requirements of the major in history-politics, students should complete twelve points at first level, sixteen points at second level, twenty-four points at third. A minor in history-politics should include either two subjects at first level and two subjects at second level, or two subjects at second level and two subjects at third level.
