The Bachelor of Arts (BA) requires 4 academic years to complete with the emphasis on a double major in either English, Geography or History. Each major requires the completion of 10 subjects. For students completing an Education degree with major/minor in the school, an option is available to complete the requirements of a BA degree after an additional 18 months of study.
Practicum Requirements
Practicums 1 and 2 will be done during the mid-year in year 3 and year 4 respectively. Practicum 1, a community development oriented program, will be attached to the third year first semester subject HMNT3100 Project Management and Policy Writing while Practicum 2, the organizational work experience oriented practicum, will be attached to HMNT4400 Leadership, Organisation and Work Culture a fourth year first semester. In Practicum 2, students will be assigned as interns with organisations that are related to one of their majors. Each practicum is considered as an assessment component. This, therefore, means that assessment of the subjects to which the practicums are attached will not be complete until after the practicum period. The duration of Practicum 1 is 2 to 3 weeks (depending on the nature of the project chosen) and the duration of Practicum 2 is 4 weeks.
This program is offered to students who score a minimum B in all their Higher School Certificate subjects. As it involves a broad multi-disciplinary program, students can choose from a wide variety of course combinations. The GPA required for admission to this course is 2.5 or better.
