Program focus
Driven by a fascination with people and society and a thirst
to learn, the intellectual challenge and critical thinking skills
developed by a study of arts has equipped our greatest thinkers, philosophers
and policy makers for generations. The Bachelor of Arts program at
USQ provides a broad-reaching plan of study, with opportunities to
specialise in two or three areas of study within Communications, Creative
Arts, Humanities and International Relations, as well as optional
and elective study choices from dozens of additional fields of study.
Building on core studies in a range of academic skills, the Bachelor
of Arts offers a flexible study pattern across several skill and knowledge-bases,
while also allowing you to gain substantial progress toward career
paths within specific disciplinary or professional fields. Graduates
of the Bachelor of Arts should be able to apply both intellectual
and practical skills to further study, research, and employment in
a wide range of careers.

History major
This major provides a challenge for those with an enquiring
mind. History is not unlike a forensic science; it examines clues,
assesses the reliability of witnesses and seeks out the reasons and
truth behind an event. Historians have insight into what events have
happened and why. Students will examine world civilisations, historic
and contemporary Australia, race relations in Australian history,
European and American history, and the 20th century.

sector organisations, including public service and government, community
work, teaching and research.

popular newspapers and magazines. No prior knowledge of the language

a career in primary or secondary teaching.

This major is designed to strengthen students’ understanding
of Australian domestic and external affairs. A range of theoretical
perspectives is examined, including institutional structures, policy
frameworks, political systems and ideologies, economies and security

foreign and defence affairs, business, international trade and tourism.

Journalism major
Students prepare for a career in journalism or a related field
by reporting, writing, editing, designing and producing for the Web,
television, radio, newspapers and magazines. A wide range of knowledge

enables students to work in the 21st century's digital newsrooms.

study in either German or Mandarin Chinese. The Language and Culture
major will equip students for the challenges and opportunities of
global citizenship in the twenty-first century, teaching competencies
in both language and cultural knowledge. It uses the experience of
language learning as a gateway into the broader study of German and
Chinese history, politics, culture, traditions, customs and national
identities. Language and Culture teaches foreign language skills as
a means for students to acquire an enhanced cross-cultural awareness
and to prepare them effectively for the real-life possibility of studying
and living abroad.
Career opportunities
The study of language and culture equips students for a variety
of careers, including international business, trade and diplomatic
services, journalism and foreign correspondent work, arts and the
creative professions and teaching abroad. Language and culture is
also the ideal preparation for overseas professional placements or
exchanges in fields such as business, engineering, sciences and information
technology.

Recommended enrolment patterns for University of New England
majors, minors and elective courses
Majors and minors/electives available via University of New
England
A number of majors, minors or elective courses from the Faculty
of Arts and Sciences at the University 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:
-
complete the UNE online application process
-
USQ to complete the approval form. You should indicate on the approval form which
UNE courses are selected for enrolment in Semester 1 and Semester
2 of 2012
-
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 University of New England after verification by the relevant
Program Coordinator or Student Adviser. You cannot enrol in UNE courses
through your USQ StudyDesk. (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 residential schools 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.
