History
History offers subjects in social history, the social and
political consequence of war, feminist history, revolution
and colonialism, representation and history, world history
and cultural and labour history. Emphasis lies on Australia,
Europe, South East Asia and the Americas. History is offered
at all undergraduate levels: 100-level (first year), 200-level
(second year) and 300-level (third year). 100-level subjects
are each worth 6 credit points, 200-level and 300-level subjects
are each worth 8 credit points.
Certain History subjects are well-suited to programs containing
a major in Australian Studies and Resource and Environmental
Studies.
Major Study
A major in History consists of 52 credit points, 24 of which
must be at 300-level. As students progress through the levels
of a History major, the subjects offered become more sophisticated
in approach.
300-level subjects place greater emphasis on comparative
and theoretical aspects of the discipline and encourage students
to undertake original research.
Entry into any 200-level history subject requires a pass
in at least one of the 100-level subjects. Entry into any
300-level subject requires 14 credit points of history, at
least 8 of which must be at 200-level.
Students taking a major in History can count up to 16 credit
points from the following: ABST100, ABST150, ABST200, AUST246,
FREN210, STS212 and STS238/338 as well as the Politics subjects
listed in the table below. Note: students enrolled in a double
major may only cross-count one subject.

History & Politics Joint
Major
The School of History and Politics also offers a Joint Major
for students with an interest in both disciplines. The Major
offers students the opportunity to explore two disciplines
without the need to complete two separate majors (sometimes
known as a Double Major), and it offers students the opportunity
to combine the specialist areas offered by the History and
Politics Program. The Joint Major consists of a minimum of
76 credit points. A minimum of 38 credit points must be taken
from History subjects and a minimum of 38 credit points must
be taken from Politics subjects.
Students taking the Joint Major must have completed at least
one 100-level subject, one 200-level subject and one 300-level
subject drawn from the History schedule and at least one 100-level
subject, one 200-level subject and one 300-level subject drawn
from the Politics schedule. The balance can be made up from
any subjects from 100- to 300-level, providing pre-requisites
have been met for the subjects chosen, or the waiving of pre-requisites
has been approved by the Convenor of the relevant Program.
Please note: At 300 level, students must
complete at least 24 credit points from the History and Politics
majors.
