Option studies 2008
Students in many programs are required to take an option study. An option study is a group of courses designed to provide students with an area of knowledge and skills that either:
-
draw from a recognised discipline and are designed to contribute to the major study, or
-
may transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, but complements the objectives of the program.
A number of option studies are available to students in these programs, including specific options offered in each program.
Students are advised to consider the whole range of option studies offered. However the availability of general option studies may be limited by a number of factors, including:
-
the authorisation of the student’s choice by the Academic Adviser and Faculty
-
the satisfactory completion of pre-requisite courses by the student
-
the provisions of the Faculty offering the option, including audition and interview requirements in certain areas of the Arts and Education
-
timetabling constraints
-
quotas.
Option studies should be taken in a structured sequence.
Arts 2008 options
Optional Studies are designed to provide students with the opportunity to widen their knowledge and perspectives through enrolment in a subject area related to, or independent of, their selected major study.
Option Studies having more than six courses listed may be designated as Major Studies in the Bachelor of Arts after students have completed six listed courses and enrol in a seventh. Students should check the enrolment requirements for all courses before enrolling in either option or elective studies. See Course Synopsis section.
