Majors in the Bachelor of Arts from outside the Faculty of Arts

The Faculty of Arts enables students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts to take one major or minor/elective study from programs in other Faculties or from the ¾«¶«´«Ã½app of New England after consultation with the Program Coordinator. For Bachelor of Arts purposes, a major in these areas comprises eight units of which at least two must be at Level 3. Enrolment in these majors is subject to pre-requisites, quota availability and timetabling constraints. These majors may only be listed as a second major or minor/elective study, not as a first or Interdisciplinary major. Please note that majors offered outside of the Faculty of Arts may also require permission from the relevant Faculty before a student can commence an academic plan including these majors. Students wishing to pursue graduate study in non-Arts areas such as Education or Psychology should consult with relevant Faculties regarding acceptable content areas in the Bachelor of Arts.

The Bachelor of Arts at Springfield

A limited number of majors and minors are available on-campus at Springfield. These include the core courses (with replacing ), the English Literature and Journalism majors, and minors in History, and Communication and Media.

Students who take two major studies may take one of the minors indicated in the section of this Handbook. Students should take courses to the value of at least four units in the selected Minor study. Choice of a minor will depend on the availability of the subject area, timetabling constraints, quotas and other restrictions such as auditions and interviews in certain areas of the Arts, as well as confirmation by the Program Coordinator.

Recommended enrolment patterns for ¾«¶«´«Ã½app of New England majors, minors and elective courses

Majors and minors/electives available via ¾«¶«´«Ã½app of New England

A number of majors, minors or elective courses from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the ¾«¶«´«Ã½app of New England are available to students enrolled in the Faculty of Arts programs at USQ under collaborative cross-institutional arrangements.

USQ students should note that they are still required to nominate their first Discipline or Interdisciplinary major from the Faculty of Arts at USQ; the UNE courses will be listed only as a second major, or minor study, or electives. USQ students who wish to enrol in these majors, minors or elective courses should:

1. complete the UNE

2. USQ to complete the . You should indicate on the approval form which UNE courses are selected for enrolment in Semester 1 and Semester 2 of 2012

3. return the completed form to the USQ Faculty of Arts Administration Officer, Student Hub (on the ground floor of Q Block) who will forward it to the ¾«¶«´«Ã½app of New England after verification by the relevant Program Coordinator or Student Adviser. You cannot enrol in UNE courses through your USQ ¾«¶«´«Ã½appDesk. (Note: in completing the form, students must ensure that they indicate their semester address for the delivery of study materials.)

Students should note that many UNE courses are offered at 200 and 300 level; students enrolling in a 300 level course study the same content but may be required to take additional and/or more difficult assessment (except for courses in Philosophy, Sociology and European Languages where the assessment is the same). In some cases, compulsory are required. Exemptions from compulsory residential schools are permitted under certain circumstances - refer to note at end of section. Students should also be aware that in the tables below, UNE courses are rated at 6 cp for each single unit, whereas USQ courses are rated at 1 unit for each single unit. Where 12 cp is listed as the required pre-requisite study for entry into a course, this is equivalent to 2 units of study at USQ.

Note: When students receive their official UNE result notification at the end of each semester they should apply to their Program Coordinator for an exemption. They should state whether the course is an elective or part of a major or minor study.

Majors/minors/electives

Major Code UNE	Students wishing to study any UNE major should use the code UNE as their third major on the USQ Academic Plan on your ¾«¶«´«Ã½appDesk.
Minor Code UNE	There is no need for a special elective code if students are choosing electives from UNE
Elective Code	There is no need for a special elective code if students are choosing electives from UNE.

The following courses may be taken externally to meet the requirements of a major or minors or electives for the Bachelor of Arts at USQ. Normally a maximum of seven units may be taken with at least two units at third (300) level if a full major is required; in some cases an eighth unit may be permitted as an elective. Options studies (four units) normally require two units at 200 level.
