If your ambition is to explore the world of ideas, cultures and places in an environment where you’ll be inspired, supported and challenged, then Monash Arts is the place to be.We consistently rank in the top 1 per cent of universities worldwide for humanities and social sciences, so you’ll be graduating from a course recognised by employers as being exceptional.

You’ll be learning from leading experts who are helping to solve some of the world’s most pressing issues from border control to international development. And while they may have international reputations, our academics are renowned for being approachable, friendly and keen for you to succeed.

Flexibility and choice are also reasons students tell us they prefer Monash Arts. Flexible course structures mean you can make the most of the amazing opportunities on offer. You can complete a comprehensive degree with the Bachelor of Arts, allowing you to tailor your course to suit your own needs and interests as they develop. The outcome will be a degree that’s unique to you.

Or you can select one of our specialist degrees, choosing from the Bachelor of Criminology, Bachelor of Global Studies, Bachelor of Media and Communication, or Bachelor of Music.

Along the way you’ll shape your own future as you explore experiences such as studying overseas, internships, field trips, double degrees, 40 areas of study, leadership, career and volunteering programs.

Why Monash Arts?The Global Immersion GuaranteeAs a student in the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Global Studies, you’ll have access to the Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee (GIG) – a guaranteed*, funded overseas experience to India, Italy, Indonesia or Malaysia. A new benchmark in globally-focused education, you’ll have the opportunity to spend two weeks studying overseas, with airfares and accommodation all covered as part of the course.

You can read all about the GIG and the exciting opportunities we offer in this brochure and online at arts.monash.edu

If you have any questions you can contact us on 1800 MONASH.* Eligibility requirements apply. Once you’ve successfully completed one semester (24 credit points equivalent) of your Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Global Studies single or double degree course (including a minimum 12 points in Arts), have passed all your Arts units, and are in good academic standing (minimum WAM of 50), you’ll be eligible to undertake the GIG unit. You must complete the GIG unit between year one and year two (or equivalent) of your studies.

Understanding the terminologyComprehensive degree In the Faculty of Arts this refers to the Bachelor of Arts. A comprehensive degree gives you choice and flexibility to select your units and normally requires you to complete 24 units (144 credit points), including specific requirements such as completing an Arts major and an Arts minor.

Specialist degree In the Faculty of Arts this refers to the Bachelor of Criminology, Bachelor of Global Studies, Bachelor of Media and Communication, and Bachelor of Music. You need to complete 24 units (144 credit points), including specific requirements such as completing a specialisation. In a specialist degree you start studying your chosen area of study straight away.

UnitsSometimes called a subject, units are usually worth six credit points. Some second-year and third-year units are worth 12 credit points, and are counted as two units – these units have a higher workload.

Areas of studyAn ‘area of study’ is a field of knowledge – for example, literary studies or sociology. Areas of study are sometimes called ‘disciplines’. See page 22.

MajorA major is eight units from the same area of study. In the Bachelor of Arts you can choose to study one or two majors and you don’t have to decide on your major straight away.

MinorA minor is four units from the same area of study.

SpecialisationAn Arts specialisation consists of 12 units (72 credit points) and is a requirement of any of the specialist degrees. A specialisation includes the requirement to complete four units (24 credit points) at third-year level.

ElectiveThere are 12 units of electives in your Arts course. Four of these must be taken from areas of study within Arts and the remaining eight free electives can be taken from Arts or another Monash course.

LEARNING ABROADAmazing experiences beyond the classroom.Monash Arts has some of the most extensive overseas study opportunities of any university in Australia. Whether you go for two weeks or two semesters, there’s a program to suit your interests and needs.

We have partnerships with more than 100 universities worldwide, a study centre in Prato, Italy, and campuses in Malaysia and South Africa.

And if you’re a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Global Studies student, you’ll have access to the Global Immersion Guarantee.

How studying overseas can give you an edgeThere are many benefits to studying overseas:

Exposure. You’ll expand your worldview through experiencing different cultures and ways of doing things.

Personal growth. You’ll build your self-confidence, be more adaptable and independent.

Employability. You’ll develop skills in effective communication, collaboration and time management.

Not everything you learn at university happens in the classroomGet out. Explore the world. Create change.

The Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee is a ground-breaking initiative that will enable you to explore first-hand the relationships between society, technology and the environment.

“My knowledge of the Holocaust in Europe became deeper and more nuanced as I experienced the subject first-hand, visiting sites in Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic and Poland. I was personally moved by the sites of suffering and the stories of enduring strength and resilience that permeated these places. The trip motivated me to pursue social justice and human rights, particularly in the context of global conflict, and was a life-changing learning opportunity.”

STEPHANIE SPROTTBachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws (2015)

Where can I go?Arts study toursPrograms vary in length from two to four weeks. They’re taught intensively so you can complete a full unit in that time. Another bonus is that they run between semesters, which means you can continue to travel after completing your program and you could finish your degree sooner. The programs are as varied as the humanities and social sciences themselves, from languages to politics to history, and the experiences for each are unique. Here are some examples of what you could be doing:

> Creating journalism stories while joining the Engineers without Borders study tour of Cambodia

> Undertaking archaeological fieldwork and excavation in Italy > Jamming with jazz masters in New York > Engaging with activists and cultural figures while considering the key challenges they face in Cuba today

> Mastering Mandarin in China > Comparing crime and social control in the US or Asia > Unravelling genocide in Europe.

Arts Semester in Prato, ItalyMake the Monash Prato Centre your European study base. Close to Florence in the picturesque landscape of Tuscany, the Monash Prato Centre is located in the beautiful 18th-century Palazzo Vaj right in the centre of Prato.

Against this historic backdrop, the Arts Semester in Prato program has been carefully designed to make the most of everything Prato has to offer, including the opportunity to learn from some of the most renowned international scholars in their field.

The program is flexible, immersive and enriching. Divided into three-by-four-week intensive blocks, you can study for the full 12 weeks, or take the option of including some travel time and study for four or eight weeks. Here are some examples of what you can study:

> Intensive Italian language > Cultural diversity in contemporary Europe > The Renaissance in Florence > Global connections: understanding cultural literacy.

Intensive language programsStudying overseas as part of your language major is a great way to immerse yourself in your chosen language and culture. Monash Arts offers a variety of faculty-led and endorsed language programs available to language students for credit.

Intercampus exchange to Monash MalaysiaStudy at our international teaching location in Malaysia. Established in 1998 in Bandar Sunway (18 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur), Monash Malaysia is Monash’s first international campus. Intercampus exchange to Monash Malaysia is available to all Monash Australia students provided they have room within their course.

Exchange to a partner institutionAn exchange program involves studying with one of our partner universities around the world. You can go on exchange for one or two semesters. Financial assistance is available and there are no extra tuition fees. You can choose from about 100 universities in 30 countries.

Study AbroadIf your preferred overseas destination is not a Monash partner university, you can still choose to go there on Study Abroad. You’ll pay the host university’s tuition fees for the time you’re there, but you’re still able to access financial assistance to support your travel.

The opportunities are endless. For more information about career options, see our Areas of Study section on pages 22–42.

INTERNSHIPSMonash Arts has a dynamic internships program where you can work in an organisation as part of your studies and get credit towards your course. You could be working with a member of state parliament or building a school in a developing nation, working behind the scenes at a television station or as a researcher with a non-profit organisation. The opportunities are endless.

There are many advantages to doing an internship:

> You’ll gain valuable work experience that counts towards your degree. > It can add more meaning to your study because it gives you the chance to apply what you’re learning in class to a real-world context.

> It’ll provide valuable networking opportunities. You’ll link up with people who can give you advice and introduce you to groups and networks.

> You can do an internship overseas and build your intercultural skills at the same time.

Here are some places where our students have interned:

> Global Poverty Project in New York > The State Museum of Majdanek in Poland > Mango Communications (communications and public relations) > Live Performance Australia (policy and research) > Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre > Ernst and Young > Oxfam > Melbourne Writers Festival > American Chamber of Commerce > Korean Consulate-General > Creative Innovation Global (events and marketing) > Melbourne Festival.

This course gives you maximum flexibility and choice. You can decide what to major in from day one, or you can wait until second-year when you’ve explored different options. With 40 areas of study to choose from, there’s plenty of scope to discover untried talents and new interests.If studying overseas appeals to you, then Monash Arts is the place to be. Whether it’s comparing criminal justice systems in the USA, exploring genocide and memory in Rwanda, cultural diversity in Europe or engaging with activists in Cuba, there’s plenty of opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge and life experience with short study trips or semester-long opportunities.

And being a student in the Bachelor of Arts, you’ll have access to the Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee – an opportunity to spend two weeks studying in India, Indonesia, Italy or Malaysia, with airfares and accommodation covered as part of your degree. For more information, visit arts.monash.edu/undergraduate/global-immersion-guarantee/

The majorEight units make up your major. These units are from the same area of study* – for example, politics. There are many units to choose from but there are also some compulsory units. These are called gateway, cornerstone and capstone units, and they’ve been designed to help you consolidate your learning so that you can get the most out of your major.

> Gateway: a first-year foundation unit introducing you to the major.

> Cornerstone: a second-year unit that focuses on making sure you have a solid grasp of your major. There’s a selection of units.

> Capstone: a third-year unit where you demonstrate advanced knowledge of your major. This could be a supervised research project or an internship with an industry partner.

* Refer to pages 22 to 42 for a comprehensive listing of areas of study available in your Arts degree.

The minorFour units make up your minor. They’re all from the same area of study, but this will be different to your major. There’s one, sometimes two, gateway units in your minor, but no cornerstone or capstone.

Arts electivesThese four units can be from any area of study in Arts. There are no compulsory units.

Free electivesThese are eight units that can be from Arts or another Monash course. You can structure these to suit your interests – for example, you could add a second major which gives you two areas of expertise.

Taking advantage of the flexible structureWhile there are aspects of the course structure that are fixed, (i.e. you must complete a major, a minor and four other units from Arts), there’s still plenty of flexibility.

That’s because we want you to take advantage of the choice and opportunities we offer, but it also means you can design the course to suit your needs and interests as they evolve. Here are some examples of what we mean by ‘flexible’:

> You can decide your major in second-year > You can start your minor in second-year > You can use the four Arts electives to make up another minor

> You can use the eight free electives to make up a second major, or two minors, or a minor plus electives, or just electives. These can be from Arts or from another faculty.

“Monash offers an Arts degree with amazing opportunities. My journey from country kid to Monash honours student has been fantastic and rewarding. I’ve become part of a whole new community with PAL (Peers, Ambassadors, Leaders) and student clubs. Indonesian and linguistics studies has offered me the chance to uncover the wider world. Travelling abroad and engaging with lecturers in a world-renowned university has been a real joy.”

Multiply your opportunities and become an expert in two fields by choosing a double degree course. This allows you to study towards two different bachelor’s degrees at the same time, providing you with more career flexibility and opportunities.A double degree doesn’t mean double the work; in fact, it takes two years less to complete than if you studied the courses separately. A typical double degree takes four years and comprises 32 units, 16 from each course. Some doubles are longer – for example, the Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Arts course takes five years.

There are many benefits to choosing a double degree. You’ll broaden your knowledge across two different fields, diversify your skill base and

expand your career opportunities. For example, with a second language you could work in multiple countries; with journalism skills you could communicate scientific findings to a broader audience; or with knowledge in international relations, you could expand your career options as a lawyer. A double degree may also fit the profession and field you want to work in – for example, working as an international development lawyer (Arts/Law), a scientific journalist (Arts/Science), an international diplomat (Arts/Business) or a music critic (Arts/Music).

BACHELOR OF ARTS DOUBLE DEGREES

DiplomasA diploma allows you to take additional studies in Arts while doing any Monash course. It’s the equivalent to eight units, which make up a major. Diplomas are taught alongside your degree course and add an extra year of study.

> Diploma of Liberal Arts – choose any Arts area of study available as a major except for languages.

> Diploma of Languages – allows you to study Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish or Ukrainian. You can commence as a beginner in the language or with a language background, as there are different entry levels.

You apply for entry to either of these diplomas only after you’ve accepted your offer into your main course at Monash.

Bachelor of Arts/master’s double degreesWith Arts you can graduate with a bachelor’s and a master’s* degree in just four years.

After completing two years of your Bachelor of Arts course, and providing you have an average score of 70 per cent, you can take master’s level units as your electives in third-year. You then complete the rest of your master’s course in fourth-year. Your master’s degree will be related to your major, so for example if you were majoring in human rights you could complete a Master of International Development Practice. You can match your Bachelor of Arts with a master’s degree in:

> Applied linguistics > Communications and media studies

> Cultural and creative industries > International development practice

> International relations > International sustainable tourism management

> Interpreting and translation studies (4.5 years)

> Journalism > Tourism.

By taking advantage of a Bachelor of Arts/master’s double degree you can:

> Refine your skills and knowledge in a field you’re really interested in

> Make yourself more employable with two degrees

> Save time (six to 12 months) and reduce fee debt.

* A master’s degree is a more advanced degree usually taken after completing a bachelor’s degree.

Improve responses to crime and criminality.Criminology is the study of crime and social control. Crime, how we define it, how we understand its causes, and the ways we respond to it provides a window into a society’s challenges, values and aspirations. This course offers students a world-leading program delivered by a team of outstanding teachers and researchers.

You’ll consider the local, national and global aspects of crime and justice, and become familiar with a range of lenses for understanding and assessing the impact of society’s changing responses to crime and justice. You’ll gain an understanding of victimisation and perpetration, inequality and its impacts, and approaches to understanding crime and difference. Throughout the course you’ll develop your capabilities via the key themes of Expert Knowledge, Global Reach and Focus, and Collaboration and Innovation.

Expert knowledgeYou’ll learn about crime committed by individuals, groups, organisations and states, and the mechanisms of the criminal justice system including police, courts and corrections. Options are available to develop knowledge of specific criminal concerns, including hate crime, serious and violent crime, cybercrime, and transnational and organised crime.

Global reach and focusThroughout the course you’ll be challenged to apply abstract knowledge to real-world problems of crime and justice and develop solutions.

You’ll also have the opportunity to travel internationally and meet criminal justice experts from across the world through a selection of exclusive field trips.

The field trips offer a truly immersive learning experience to complement the sound academic knowledge you gain in class, allowing you to engage in context and gain a genuine understanding of the human realities behind the study of criminology.

Collaboration and InnovationThrough multiple opportunities for engagement with industry, you’ll gain the experience needed to be workplace ready.

In the Professional Project unit, you’ll work closely with our industry partners, opening up new pathways and opportunities for your career, and capping off your Criminology study by bringing together all your knowledge and skills in your final year. The Professional Project features real-life scenarios and your work will be assessed by both academics and industry.

There are also further opportunities and internships available to you through Arts Internships, both in Australia and around the world, so you can get hands-on experience while you gain study credit.

BACHELOR OF CRIMINOLOGY

CAREER OPTIONS

There’s an increasing global demand for graduates with a deep understanding of the role of crime in contemporary social and economic life, and well-developed professional skills in understanding global issues in crime.

On completion of this course, you’ll be prepared to work in a broad range of professional domains, including international criminal justice organisations, anti-corruption organisations, human rights, the police force, the courts system, Department of Justice, attorney-general’s departments, community legal centres, and a range of private organisations in which criminology specialist skills will provide a key competitive advantage.

You’ll learn how to critically analyse global challenges facing cultures and communities around the world, and how to apply your knowledge to these challenges and devise imaginative and well-informed solutions to help solve them.The Bachelor of Global Studies has many exciting features, including core units on leadership development, project-based learning, internship placements with industries and organisations who are leading advocates for social change around the world, a broad range of electives that train you to think across different disciplines, an overseas study component, and the option of doing a double degree with Law, Science or Commerce.

Overseas studyIntegral to this course is study overseas that can be completed across a full semester or taken intensively. You could take units offered at a Monash international location, join in one of our many study tours, or study at one of our prestigious partner universities. It’s compulsory to take at least three overseas study units but you can take more if you want, and with partnerships with more than 100 universities worldwide, our study centre in Prato, Italy, and a campus in Malaysia, you’re spoilt for choice.

Engaging with industryWith its own advisory board, the Bachelor of Global Studies is in a unique position to draw on the advice and perspectives of industry experts. The board consists of professionals from diverse backgrounds with direct links to business, government and the social sector. They provide vital guidance, advice and feedback to inform our program development and to ensure the course delivers the best outcomes for you.

Double degreesYou can study the Bachelor of Global Studies alongside another course and complete two degrees in four years (five years with Law). The Bachelor of Global Studies can be taken as a double degree with:

> Bachelor of Commerce > Bachelor of Science > Bachelor of Laws (Honours).

Double degrees allow you to combine two areas of interest and gain expertise in both. As a graduate you’ll have greater career flexibility, and because the double degree is completed in a shorter time than two single degrees, you’ll be saving time and money.

InternshipsThere are many opportunities within the course to take an internship, where you can apply your knowledge to a professional work environment and gain valuable experience and insights into the ‘real-world’ environment. Internships are available with a wide range of organisations and count as credit towards your degree.

What your course will look likeThere are 24 units taken over three years if studying full-time (six years if part-time). Here’s how the units are divided up.

Three core units on ‘Leadership for social change’:These units are exclusive to the Bachelor of Global Studies and are taken over three years. You’ll learn about forms of leadership, drivers of social change and how to apply your learning in practical and professional real-life contexts. Classes are mainly workshops where you’ll engage in problem-based learning and develop skills in creativity, teamwork, cross-cultural collaboration, critical thinking, self-learning and analytical writing.

Twelve units from one of the following specialisations: > Global cultural literacies > Human rights

> International studies > International relations.

Eight elective units:With these units you can study subjects from Arts or from another area such as Information Technology or Business. You could also use these electives to do an internship or study overseas.

SpecialisationsGlobal cultural literacies Extend your studies of leadership, culture and globalisation by focusing on communication across cultural borders. By studying one of eight internationally important languages – Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean or Spanish – you’ll deepen your cross-cultural skills and knowledge. All languages are available for beginners through to those with proficiency. You’ll also study topics such as managing intercultural communication, and the skills you build will enable you to apply your knowledge in real-world contexts.

Human rights In the era of globalisation, one of the most important concepts in international affairs is human rights. What are human rights? Are human rights culturally relative? How can human rights be justified? You’ll learn how human rights helps to address issues such as global poverty, unequal access to medicine, warfare, terrorism, children’s rights, humanitarian intervention, torture, surveillance and more.

International studies In order to be competitive in the international marketplace of products, ideas and knowledge, we need to understand how people experience different cultures. International studies develops this understanding by exploring the issues and events that have shaped and continue to shape our world. You’ll examine such diverse topics as the role of cities as drivers of change, migrant and refugee experiences, power and poverty, and tradition and popular culture. In doing so, you’ll develop a solid understanding of European and Asian cultural studies, and of networks of relations between Europe, Asia and Australia.

International relations What are the dynamics of global politics and economics? Gain an understanding of the relationships between political institutions, international organisations, and governmental and non-governmental actors. Grasp evidence-based explanations to study war and conflict, development, financial and other crises at a global level. You’ll undertake in-depth study of topics of contemporary significance such as terrorism and political violence, global governance, international security and foreign policy.

You’ll move from being a consumer to a producer and manipulator of data prepared for new roles in digital archiving, big data, new media and other areas yet to be defined by this amazing new field. Rather than taking digital technologies as simply objects of study, digital humanities employs them as tools for making sense of the media-saturated world in which we live and the cultural transformations that are taking place with their development. By combining the expertise of the faculties of Arts, IT, and Art, Design and Architecture, you’ll develop the necessary skills to create and evaluate digital media content, use digital technologies to analyse complex problems and creatively express yourself, and to work both independently and collaboratively with others across discipline boundaries.

JournalismMake the news, and make stories that matter.

Gain expertise in bringing together journalism practice, theory and empirical research, with advanced skills in research, writing and communication for professional practice. You’ll grasp all production technologies using the celebrated Monash Media Lab, and realise the ethical principles in journalism that form an essential component of a democratic society.

MediaYou’ll become a true media expert in today’s fast-evolving world, building skills and knowledge in media research, management, communication and policy. You’ll examine digital and social media, and the ways they’ve transformed broadcasting, print media, and other more traditional media forms. You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of media studies as a discipline, and develop skills in media analysis that have applications across a wide range of professional contexts – from social media strategy in organisations to media management and communication and media policy.

Public relationsYou’ll learn how to research, develop, apply then evaluate communication strategies.

You’ll understand the importance of the management of stakeholder relationships and reputation, acquire skills in public opinion analysis, learn to identify and manage organisational issues, and develop a crisis management plan. This course also provides you with the skills required to research, plan and implement a strategic public relations campaign, from objectives, stakeholder identification, and strategies and tactics, to budgeting and evaluation. You’ll gain an understanding of how globalisation and new media impacts public relations practices, and learn about the legal and ethical frameworks for the profession.

The next step will be producing content for global and local audiences across different media platforms. You’ll have the opportunity to work with real clients where you’ll gain insights into ethical communication practice as well as the skills needed for a professional communication career.

ScreenScreen industries, technologies and cultures are changing faster than ever. This specialisation gives you the knowledge to understand these transformations, navigating how film, television and newer screen formats have led to and function within contemporary media ecologies. You’ll study an extensive range of units covering historical, analytical and practical approaches to screen content and formats from around the world. You’ll look at Australian, Asian and European film culture through to Hollywood and its institutions. You’ll examine the power and influence screen has to share stories, and its ability to influence and change society. In this, you’ll consider current academic debates concerning the shift from local to global and analogue to digital economies, and also address issues relating to the representation of gender, race and class on screen. The screen specialisation also develops your practical video production skills relevant to a broad range of media platforms and screen cultures.

About AnthropologyAnthropology compares different ways of life. It explores an ‘insider’ perspective on human behaviour by asking questions such as what people do, why they do it, what they mean by it, what motivates them to do it and what they value in diverse societies and cultures.

Why study anthropology?Anthropologists play an increasingly important role in the world. They observe the lives of others by living with them, sharing their experiences and discussing their perspectives. They specialise in analysing, documenting and creating social changes, and can assist in areas such as climate change, mining, social policy, Indigenous issues and development aid.

Anthropology and travelAnthropologists travel extensively as part of their work, particularly to areas where their expertise is required for problem-solving. In the past year, Monash anthropologists have travelled to outback Australia, Indonesia, Iran, Timor Leste and many other locations.

Complementary areas of studyAreas of study that go well with anthropology are:

> Languages and linguistics > Indigenous cultures and histories > Sociology > Ethnomusicology > Behavioural studies.

Why choose Spanish and Latin American studies?Spanish is spoken by more than 400 million people across 23 countries. It’s one of the most important languages for cultural exchange and business, especially as Australian trade with Latin America steadily increases. After completing a major in Spanish you’ll be proficient in the language, with progression tracked against the European Framework for Languages, an international benchmark. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of contemporary Spanish and Latin American cultures and societies, focusing on identities (gender, race and nationalisms), historical memory, multiculturalism and tradition/modernity.

Overseas opportunitiesYou can apply for a Spanish Government Assistantship which provides funding towards spending an academic year in Spain. There are other opportunities to study overseas, including a semester-long exchange.

Language entry levelsIf you’re a beginner you can enter at introductory level; if you have VCE/IB Spanish you’d enter at intermediate level; and if you’ve studied Spanish at tertiary level you’d enrol in the proficient level.

Ukrainian studies gives you insight into a country where some of the great issues of the contemporary world are played out in everyday politics and life.

Overseas opportunitiesMonash has an agreement with the University of Lviv in Ukraine. You can apply for a Monash Abroad travel grant to study for a semester at this or another Ukrainian university. We encourage our students to take a three-week Ukrainian language and culture summer school (June-July) in Ukraine in the second or third year of their studies.

Entry levelsThere are three entry levels:

> Introductory – for beginners > Intermediate – if you have Ukrainian studies at VCE/IB level

> Proficient – if you have post-VCE studies in Ukrainian.

CAREER OPTIONS

Studies in theatre and performance open up many doors for you on and off the stage. Our graduates hold positions in:

> Acting > Directing > Stage management > State, local and community groups.

Arts organisations: > Theatre administration > Technical theatre > Festivals > Marketing or journalism > Scriptwriting > Teaching.

For admission to double degree courses, generally the higher requirements for the two component single degree courses is a good indicator of the likely requirements for the double degree course.

Where there’s a range of criteria for one of the component courses, these criteria will still apply to the double degree course.

In each case you should expect to meet the entry level of each of the single degree courses. Some double degree courses may require you to study across two campuses in order to complete your course.
