Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of people and analyses what it means to be human in a wide range of contexts andplaces: from the study of material culture to popular culture, public health policies and the world’s religions.Anthropology can be used to address some of society’s most compelling questions on war, gender,discrimination, racism and other divisions of power. Students of the Anthropology Major go beyond thetraditional idea of studying remote societies and cultures to look at the social and cultural experiences of ourown lives; they will delve deeper into the questions they ask about the world, and be given the academic skillsneeded to make a difference.

Archaeology

Archaeologists give us the chance to see how people lived in the past, and how they interacted with one anotherand the environment. Studies of the material traces of the past also help people to make important decisionsabout property, resources, and cultural heritage in the present day. Students taking the Archaeology Major atUSQ will open a window to the past under the direction of some of Australia's most respected archaeologists,with opportunities for practical archaeological training, including field methods and laboratory analysis.

Contemporary Media Studies

How people engage with their society is closely related to our use of media technologies, from print to screen,or from everyday interactions to social networks. This major combines the study of communications andmedia theories with applied studies in contemporary media institutions. Students of Contemporary MediaStudies analyse the areas of film, social media, television and popular culture more broadly, all of whichdynamically shape people’s lives in a media-driven world.

Creative and Critical Writing

The Creative and Critical Writing major allows students to gain deep understanding of the theoretical andphilosophical understandings of writing and writing practices that then inform the students’ own practice aswriters. Courses have a thematic focus so students acquire the skills to write effectively, but also learn to thinkcritically about how, why, where and when we write about experiences, landscapes or people.

English Literature

English Literature fosters students' passion for great writing and develops skills in forming critical arguments,conducting research, and documenting evidence. Study in this area encourages students to be analytical andto develop a clear and expressive writing style in a range of modes. Students explore both the great works ofliterature as well as innovative and contemporary works of poetry, prose, drama, film, new media and criticalessays.

History

The historian, like a detective, examines clues, assesses the reliability of witnesses and seeks out the reasonsand truth behind an event. Historians have insights into what events have happened and why. Through criticalthinking and real-world application, students learn to piece together information from the past and apply it tocurrent events and issues. Students will examine world civilisations, historic and contemporary Australia, racerelations in Australian history, European history, modern Southeast Asia, and the 20th century.

Indigenous Studies

Indigenous studies at USQ will give students an understanding of Australian Indigenous perspectives andways of thinking. Students learn about Indigenous issues and elements that have shaped and influenced




Indigenous communities in Australia. Indigenous staff will enable students of this major to develop the abilityto work with and within Indigenous communities in culturally appropriate and effective ways.


This major is designed to strengthen students’ understanding of Australian domestic and external affairs. Arange of theoretical perspectives is examined, including institutional structures, policy frameworks, politicalsystems and ideologies, economies and security regimes in various regions. Students will also study thecomplexities of cross-cultural interaction and issues which will be developed analytically through issue-based,problem-solving approaches.

Journalism Studies

The Journalism Studies major is designed for students who wish to become journalism scholars, researchers,and media commentators and specialists. Students will learn about the history and development of the freepress and theories and principles that govern the practices of news institutions in the modern world. Bachelorof Arts students who wish to become practising journalists in industry should instead take the 12-unit Journalism(Extended) major.

Languages (Cross-Institutional Study)

Students wishing to undertake a Languages major can choose a major through cross-institutional study. Thisprovides students with a broad range of language options through other institutions. Students intending tostudy a language must contact [email protected] for further details and assistance with theircross-institutional enrolment.

Students may undertake one of the following language major options cross-institutionally:

● 4-unit language minor● 8-unit language major● 12-unit extended major● 16-unit double major

Legal Studies

The Legal Studies major gives students the chance to learn how to analyse case studies, debate key legalconcepts, be introduced to legal research, and study possible methods of resolving conflicts, including litigation.Students will examine Australian foreign policy and Australia's historic and contemporary relations on a globalbasis.

Public Relations Studies

With this major students will gain the skills and knowledge to review communication policies within anorganisation and develop and implement communication programs and strategies. Students of the PublicRelations Studies major will also develop skills required in the industry, such as creating public awarenesscampaigns and improving organisation, public and media relations. Students learn to identify communicationproblems of organisations through appropriate research and strategic planning.

Social Justice Studies

The Social Justice Studies major is a field of study intended for those who want to work with people - in thepublic sector, non-governmental organisations, and more - to deliver community welfare and social justice.This requires a blend of critical appraisal and consultative skills in tasks including community consultationand policy analysis, skills which are useful in a changing labour market and which help students to make moresense of their lives. Students study social justice issues in local, national, and international arenas to becomemore informed citizens and community leaders.

Bachelor of Arts discipline extended majors

Program fees




















Program structureThe Bachelor of Creative Arts consists of 24 units. These are broadly divided into specialisations (in Film,Television and Radio; Music; Theatre or Visual Arts), extended majors, majors, minors, electives and onecore Arts course. Each Creative Arts area of specialisation offers a minimum of 16 courses, commencing witha foundation year of 8 courses that is inclusive of the School core CMS1000 Communication and Scholarship.At the completion of the foundation year, students will be able to map out their pathway in the remainder ofthe program, with a greater or lesser degree of further specialisation, combinations of extended majors, majors,minors, and electives, or hybridisation as they wish. Students may combine one of the 16 unit extended majorswith another 8 unit major from within Creative Arts or beyond, or with suites of minors and electives. Whereavailable, each specialisation can also encompass 20 or 24 unit extended majors.

Students should take one of the following combinations of elements:

● 16 unit Creative Arts Extended Major plus an eight unit major in either another discipline in the Bachelorof Creative Arts or other undergraduate major in Arts or any available major across the university. Thisis the most ideal combination for students seeking to undertake postgraduate teaching qualifications uponcompletion in order to become a secondary school teacher as it provides ample room for a second teachingarea;

● 16 unit Extended Major plus 2 x 4 unit Minor. This combination allows flexibility in choosing two possibleminor suites, and thus up to three areas of study within Creative Arts, or up to two other areas fromanywhere in the university alongside a Creative Arts specialisation;

● 16 unit Extended Major plus 1 x 4 unit Minor plus 4 electives. This allows for maximum flexibility.● 20 unit Extended Major plus 1 x 4 unit Minor or 4 electives. This allows students to undertake an extended

specialisation in their chosen Creative Arts discipline and still achieve a Minor in any other availablearea;

● 24 unit Extended Major. Subject to availability, certain pathways in individual disciplines allow studentsthe flexibility to fully specialise in a single area of study for the entire degree. In some cases, as in theActing Studio, a 24 unit enrolment pattern is the only way to complete the pathway (please consultRecommended Enrolment Patterns for more details);

● students may also elect to divide a major of 16 courses in one discipline area into two majors of eightcourses across two discipline areas. Students wishing to undertake such a hybrid major will requireconsultation and approval from the Bachelor of Creative Arts program coordinator and to complete theentry requirements for each chosen discipline.

Students will be advised to enrol in specific combinations of majors, minors, and electives to enhance theiropportunities for employment or further study. Further details of these combinations can be obtained fromthe Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts. In some instances, however, combinations preferred byindividual students may not be available due to quota, timetable, or enrolment pattern constraints.

Program fees







Program structureThe Bachelor of Creative Arts consists of 24 units. These are broadly divided into discipline majors (in Music,Theatre, Creative Media, or Visual Arts), minors, electives and one core Arts course. Each Creative Artsdiscipline offers 16 courses for students which is made up of 8 courses in theory and 8 in practice. Studentsmay elect to do a full discipline major of 16 courses in one discipline area or divide this into 2 majors of 8courses across 2 discipline areas. Together with CMS1000 Communication and Scholarship, students shouldtake one of the following combinations of elements:

● 16 unit Discipline Major plus 1 Core Course plus 7 units towards a major in either another discipline inthe Bachelor of Creative Arts or other undergraduate Arts course. This is the most ideal combination forstudents seeking to do the one year graduate diploma in teaching upon completion in order to become asecondary school teacher as it provides ample room for a second teaching area;

● 16 unit Discipline Major plus 1 Core Course plus 4 unit Minor plus 3 Electives. This combination allowsflexibility in choosing the best possible minor suite;

● 8 unit Discipline Major (Theory) plus 8 unit Discipline Major (Practice) plus 1 Core Course plus 4 unitMinor plus 3 Electives. This allows for maximum flexibility.

Students will be advised to enrol in specific combinations of majors, minors and electives to enhance theiropportunities for employment or further study. Further details of these combinations can be obtained fromthe Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts. In some instances, however, combinations preferred byindividual students may not be available due to quota, timetable or enrolment pattern constraints.

● Creative Media● Music● Theatre● Visual Arts.

Other non-Arts Majors in the Bachelor of Creative Arts

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Arts are able to take one major or minor/elective study fromother undergraduate programs offered by the University of Southern Queensland, with the approval of theFaculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts.

For Bachelor of Creative Arts purposes, a major in these areas comprises seven units (7 courses + 1 CoreCourse = 8) of which at least two must be at Level 3. Enrolment in these majors is subject to prerequisites,quota availability and timetabling constraints.

These majors may only be listed as a third major or minor/elective study, not as a first or second major.







Minor StudiesMinor studies are designed to enable students to widen their knowledge and perspectives. Courses must betaken over two levels and should be in the same discipline or recognised multi-disciplinary area.

Students who take only two major studies must take one of the Minors indicated in the Minor studies sectionof this Handbook.

All of the discipline areas of the Creative Arts will offer suites of minors and electives from their existingmajor course offerings. Students should take courses to the value of at least four units in the selected minorstudy. Choice of a minor will depend on the availability of the subject area, timetabling constraints, quotasand other restrictions such as interviews in certain areas of the Creative Arts, as well as approval of the Facultyof Business, Education, Law and Arts.

● other qualifications equivalent to First Class or 2A Honours.

English Language Proficiency requirements for Category 3.

The PhD is based on supervision by a Principal and one or more Associate Supervisors, therefore it is essentialthat applicants clarify their topic for research and seek an academic staff member able to provide supervision.Application forms, procedures for enrolment, and the application process can be found on the Researchwebsite. Applicants are advised to allow several months for discussion with potential supervisors and forconsideration of the application prior to the commencement of the program.



Program fees





Research Training Program (RTP) - Fees Offset schemeAll Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and New Zealand citizens commencing a HigherDegree by Research (HDR) program will have their tuition fees paid by the Australian CommonwealthGovernment under the Research Training Program (RTP) Fees Offset scheme. The RTP Fees Offset schemecovers program fees for an HDR student up to a maximum period of four years for full-time study or up to




https://www.usq.edu.au/research/graduate-research-school/future-hdr-students/application









eight years part-time study for a Doctoral program, and up to a maximum period of two years for full-time orfour years part-time for a Masters by Research program.As part of the enrolment process, students are required to submit proof of citizenship or permanent residencystatus and transcripts of all previous academic study. This documentation enables the University of SouthernQueensland to determine eligibility for an RTP Fees Offset place.

If a student's RTP Fees Offset entitlement expires before completion of the program, the student will berequired to pay full tuition fees.

Students eligible for an RTP Fees Offset place are those who:

● have not used RTP Fees Offset funding in the previous three years; or● have already used RTP Fees Offset funding and have successfully completed an HDR program. Once a

student completes an HDR program, full entitlements of RTP Fees Offset are restored.

The Australian Commonwealth Government’s contribution to program fees must be acknowledged on allpublished material relating to a research project via a statement identifying the support received through theRTP Fees Offset scheme.

Program structureThe Doctor of Philosophy is a 24-unit program made up of one unit of research training, one unit of approvedpostgraduate elective (coursework or research training as approved by the Associate Dean (Graduate ResearchSchool) on advice from the supervisory team), two units for a Research Proposal to support Confirmation ofCandidature and 20 units of independent research within your selected area of study. Candidates are requiredto enrol in an approved Schedule D course (independent research course) if the supervisory team recommendsthat the candidate has appropriate knowledge of relevant coursework or Research Methodology course listedin Schedule A and Schedule B.

The award of the Doctor of Philosophy requires the successful examination of the student’s thesis or researchoutcomes, work based research project/s and professional learning.

The Doctor of Philosophy comprises a minimum of 16 units, although students would normally complete 24units, with the option to extend to 32 units if needed. Students are required to enrol in appropriate course(s)in Semester 1 and Semester 2 from date of admission through to the date that they submit their thesis forexamination, or alternatively be on approved leave. Failure to enrol or not be on approved leave may resultin the student’s enrolment being cancelled. Students studying full-time will need to enrol in 4 units eachsemester (Semester 1 and Semester 2). Part-time students will need to enrol in 2 units each semester (Semester1 and Semester 2).

The enrolment pattern of this program is required to reflect the following:

● Research Methodology Course (Schedule A) must be completed in the first four units of enrolment.● Advanced Approved Course (Schedule B) must be completed within the first six units of enrolment.● Candidates who are not required to enrol in Research Methodology Course (Schedule A) and Advanced

Approved Course (Schedule B) must enrol in Independent Research Courses (Schedule D).● Research Proposal for Confirmation of Candidature (Schedule C) must be completed after the successful

completion of Schedule A and Schedule B Courses and within the first eight units of enrolment.● Independent Research Courses (Schedule D) to commence in parallel with Schedule A, B & C Courses

as appropriate. After completion of 8 units, it is mandatory to have completed the Schedule C Courseprior to enrolment further Schedule D courses.

Based on the research project (lab-based or non-lab based), the appropriate courses should be selected withinSchedule C and Schedule D.

The proposed enrolment pattern for individual students will be checked by the Associate Dean (GraduateResearch School).

Assessment




A student is admitted to this program as a provisional candidate until successful completion of the Confirmationof Candidature process.

All students are required to complete successfully a Confirmation of Candidature through enrolment inRES9510 Confirmation of Candidature (Non-Lab) or RES9511 Confirmation of Candidature (Lab) coursewithin the first eight units of the program. The purpose of the Confirmation of Candidature process is to ensure,as far as possible, a student’s steady progress towards the successful and timely completion of the PhD program.Students are expected to complete the Confirmation of Candidature within 12 months full-time, or 24 monthspart-time enrolment. The Confirmation of Candidature is completed in the courses RES9510 Confirmationof Candidature (Non-Lab) or RES9511 Confirmation of Candidature (Lab), and consists of two components:

● a written document; and● an oral presentation to a review panel leading to a recommendation on Confirmation of Candidature.

The Graduate Research School will notify students by email when the Confirmation of Candidature is due.

Student progress will be monitored by compulsory Progress Reports. Students who are deemed to be makingadequate progress will be awarded an ongoing grade. Those students who fail to submit a report, or who havebeen deemed to be making little or no progress may be awarded a Fail grade. When the progress is notsatisfactory, the student would normally be placed on conditional academic standing and performancemanagement processes will be implemented as per the Academic Standing, Progression and ExclusionProcedure. The Graduate Research School will notify students by email when Progress Reports are due.

The final assessment in the PhD program is the submission of PhD thesis that will be examined as per theHigher Degree Research (HDR) examination schedule outlined below.

Program completion requirementsAll PhD students must successfully complete appropriate courses in Schedule A and Schedule B and completethe Confirmation of Candidature process through Schedule C. Students who are deemed as having sufficientknowledge of Research methodology will be required to enrol in a Schedule D courses instead of ScheduleA or Schedule B courses. Finally, a PhD thesis must be submitted for examination as part of Schedule D.

All PhD students are required to submit a thesis for examination which will be examined by suitably qualifiedexaminers as per the Higher Degree Research (HDR) examination schedule. A PhD degree will only beawarded on the basis of the student successfully completing the thesis examination process.

There is no prescribed minimum length for a doctoral thesis as this will vary with the research topic and theform of presentation, however, there is normally a maximum prescribed length of 80 000 words for doctoraltheses. A PhD thesis may be presented in the form of a:

● Standard Thesis● Thesis by Publication, or● Thesis with Creative Works.

Examination Criteria for the Standard PhD Thesis and PhD Thesis by Publication

The thesis will be examined according to the following criteria:

(1) The extent to which the student has demonstrated:(a) Originality;(b) Critical insight; and(c) Capacity to carry out independent research; and

(2) The extent of the contribution to knowledge made by the thesis and, in particular, its contribution to theunderstanding of the subject with which it deals; and

(3) The suitability of the thesis for publication.

Examination Criteria for a PhD with Creative Works



http://www.usq.edu.au/course/synopses/2020/RES9510.html






The PhD with Creative Work Component examination criteria includes the student’s demonstrated capacityto produce original creative work. The student’s production of original creative work should be evidenced inthe creative work itself together with an exegesis.
