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, 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, Communication and Cultural
Studies, English, History, Politics, Science Technology and
Society and Sociology. 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 HIST218 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.
Honours
Those interested in Honours in Australian Studies should
consult the Honours co-ordinator of the School of History
and Politics. 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).
