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: AUST101
or AUST102, either AUST246 or HIST 218, 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,
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 or AUST102 plus one 100-level subject from the list), a
minimum of 16 credit points at 200-level (AUST246 or HIST 218 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 Convenor of the relevant Program. Those interested
in Honours in Australian Studies should consult the Honours co-ordinator
of the School. A notice board with information on Australian Studies
can be found in the History and Politics corridor on the second
floor of the Arts building (Bldg 19).

* Students please note: Students may enrol in the subject
Twentieth Century Australian Literary Culture under one of the following
subject codes: AUST300, ENGL371 or HIST380. All students in the
subject attend the one lecture group and any one of the subject
codes will be accepted in any of the majors containing the subject.
Example: Students majoring in English normally enrol in the subject
as ENGL371 Twentieth Century Australian Literary Culture. If, however,
they have studied the subject as HIST380 or AUST300, it can still
count as an English subject at 300 level. This also applies for
Australian Studies and History.
Double majors: Students who are attempting any two of the three
majors may use this subject as the one subject which they can count
across two majors. (The 8 credit point value of the subject is only
counted once).
