Students undertaking the Bachelor of Arts are normally permitted to enrol in approved subjects offered by other faculties. However, there is a requirement that students complete the following minimum number of points in departments within the Faculty of Arts:
In most cases, students wishing to undertake a major in another faculty will be able to do so, but they will need to plan their course carefully to ensure they meet both departmental prerequisites and Faculty requirements.
Combined course students (except those in the BA/BMus) will not normally be eligible to enrol in any subject(s) in this area of study, please consult a Faculty of Arts Course Adviser for further information.
Students with advanced practical abilities on instruments taught at the Faculty may apply for practical tuition through 740-137 Practical Study 1A. This subject has a quota and requires audition (contact the Faculty of Music Office for an application form before 16 February 1996). Acceptance carries with it an obligation to take part in Faculty Orchestra or Choir, and places are offered in instruments where the Faculty has vacancies in its ensembles.
Introduction to Music 1-1 has no prerequisite.
