Australian Studies
Australian Studies is an interdisciplinary course of study. It includes
Aboriginal studies, history, politics, literature, media, sociology, science
and technology and gender in its ambit. It has been designed to introduce
students to the various ways Australian issues are addressed and analysed
by a variety of interdisciplinary and disciplinary approaches.
Major Study: A major in Australian Studies consists of a minimum
of 52 credit points. The major is made up of the three core subjects described
below, AUST101, AUST246 and AUST300. The balance of credit points is made
up by taking subjects with Australian content offered by the following
Programs within the Faculty: Aboriginal Studies, Communications and Cultural
Studies, English, History and Politics, Science, Technology and Society
and Sociology. A list of some of these subjects can be seen below. To
complete the major, students will need to take a minimum of 12 credit
points at 100-level (AUST101 plus one 100-level subject from the list),
a minimum of 16 credit points at 200-level (AUST246 plus one 200-level
subject from the list) and a minimum of 24 credit points at 300-level
(AUST300 plus two 300-level subjects from the list).
Students should ensure that they have the necessary prerequisites to
take the subjects of their choice or have had the prerequisites waived
by the Head of the relevant Program. Those interested in Honours in Australian
Studies should consult the Australian Studies co-ordinator. A notice board
with information on Australian Studies can be found adjacent to the History
and Politics Program Office.
Co-ordinator: Dr Catriona Elder, History and Politics Program.
