Community And Environment
(Available at the Shoalhaven and Moss Vale Campuses, Batemans Bay
Library and Education Access Centre and Bega Education Access Centre).
Major Study
The Community and Environment major is made up of 78 - 80 credit
points, consisting of four to five core subjects at 100-level (24
- 30 credit points), three to four core subjects at 200-level (24
- 32 credit points) and 24 credit points at 300-level made up of
the two core subjects and one elective from the 300-level Arts offerings.
The remainder of the degree (64 - 66 credit points) consists of
electives chosen from Arts or from the subjects offered from the
other degrees offered at the South Coast and Southern Highlands
campuses.
The BA is a coherent interdisciplinary degree based around a core
and electives chosen from a range of subjects offered by the Faculties
of Arts, Commerce, Informatics and Science. Some subjects that are
also offered on the Wollongong campus will be available in a flexible
delivery mode in Nowra, Batemans Bay, Bega and Moss Vale.
Students gain a broad general education with an emphasis on gaining
transferable skills in written and oral communication, research
and computer applications. While the traditional humanities and
social sciences skills of reading to understand, writing essays
and making convincing oral presentations are central, so are the
related skills of report and submission writing, understanding the
use of statistics in arguments and using the new technologies to
find and present information.
Students are able to study progressions of subjects with a strong
Australian content in the areas of environment, social and public
policy, cultural heritage (including Aboriginal studies, history
and literature), and communication studies (including film and television).
Honours
At the end of a three year undergraduate degree, a fourth or Honours
year is available for eligible students.
