Overview

Head of Department: Professor T C Brown

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:

50 points at first-year;
66 points at second-year;
50 points at third-year.

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/BSc) will not normally be eligible to enrol in any subject(s) in this area of study; please consult an Arts Faculty Course Adviser for further information.
