LEARNING ABROADAMAZING EXPERIENCES BEYOND THE CLASSROOM Monash Arts has 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, curiosities and study needs.

We have partnerships with over 150 universities worldwide, a study centre in Prato, Italy, and a campus in Malaysia. As a first year Monash Arts student, you’ll have access to our ground breaking Global Immersion Guarantee.

STUDYING OVERSEAS GIVES YOU AN EDGE Research shows that students with international study experience:• have better grades throughout their degree• are more employable once they graduate• earn more throughout their career.

You’ll expand your worldview through experiencing different cultures and ways of doing things. You’ll build your self-confidence, and be more adaptable and independent. You’ll also develop skills in effective communication, collaboration and time management.

WHERE CAN I GO? Arts study tours Programs vary from two to six weeks. They’re taught intensively so you can complete one or more units in that time. They run between semesters, which means you can continue to travel afterwards and potentially finish your degree sooner.

Some examples of what you could do include:• 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 cultural identities while considering

the key challenges they face in Cuba today • mastering Mandarin in China • comparing crime and social control in the USA,

Asia or Europe • unravelling the effects of genocide in Europe.

Arts Semester in Prato Make 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.

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. Embrace the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s most renowned international scholars as you study fascinating subjects such as:• intensive Italian language • cultural diversity in contemporary Europe • the Renaissance in Florence.

Intensive language programs Studying 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 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. Generous funding is available for this program.

Exchange to a partner institution An 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 more than 150 universities in 30 countries.

Study Abroad If 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, and you’re still able to access financial assistance to support your travel.

You will engage with people and organisations already working on these issues, and you’ll have the opportunity to gain an understanding of the complexities and challenges involved in implementing sustainable and innovative solutions – all skills  your future employers will look for.

Our world needs graduates who thrive in an era of uncertainty and change. In the Monash Bachelor of Arts you’ll cultivate your intellect, foster your passions and develop your capacity to ask the questions and find the solutions required to transform our world. We support you to become enterprising and passionate advocates for social change.

The Bachelor of Arts is designed to give you maximum flexibility and choice. You can choose from more than 30 areas of study to build a genuinely transformative experience. The course is built around deeply enriching experiences, and via your elective units, offers you four Professional Futures units through which to develop your unique graduate profile. You can choose from local and international internships, professional engagements and entrepreneurial opportunities, and the choice of more than 50 global immersion programs, preparing you to live and work in complex and culturally diverse environments, while building a network of like-minded peers.

The majorEight units make up your major. These units are from the same area of study3 – for example, anthropology, French studies or politics. There  are many units to choose from but there are also some compulsory units. These are called gateway, cornerstone and capstone units, which have been designed to help you consolidate your learning so 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.

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.

Arts electives/MinorA minor is four units from the same area of study. In a Bachelor of Arts, you can choose to complete a minor or four individual units from your chosen areas.

Professional FuturesFour professional futures areas build the skills and abilities employers value and seek. They aim to improve your employability and help you not just get a job, but land the job you want.

Global immersion: Broaden your knowledge and life experience by participating in the GIG, one of our other short study trips or a semester-long program.

Intercultural expertise: Learn to recognise your own cultural values and biases, and build skills to thrive in globalised work places and communities.

Professional experience: Through industry internships and placements, create networks and skills for your career development.

Innovation capability: Cultivate an innovation mindset as you develop your creative and enterprising abilities.

Free electivesThere are eight free elective units which can be taken from Arts, Business, IT or Science. 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 (for example, you must complete a major, Arts electives, and Professional Futures units), there’s still plenty of flexibility. This means you can design your course to suit your needs and interests as they evolve.Some examples of what we mean by ‘flexible’ are: • you can decide your major in second-year • you can complete four Arts electives or a minor• you can use the eight free electives to make

up a second major, two minors, a minor plus electives, or just electives. These can be from Arts, Business, IT or Science.

Global Immersion GuaranteeAs a Bachelor of Arts student, you’ll have access to the Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee – an opportunity to spend two weeks studying in China, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia or The Pacific Islands, with airfares and accommodation covered as part of your degree.

A double degree empowers you to tailor your studies to your dream profession – for example, working as an international development lawyer (Arts/Laws), an environmental journalist (Arts/Science), a business manager (Arts/Business) or a music critic (Arts/Music).

You’ll broaden your knowledge across two different fields, diversify your skill base and expand your career opportunities.

LIBERAL ARTS

I undertook an Arts/Law double degree because I wanted to combine my passion for law with my social conscience and desire to help my community.

In my Arts degree, I pursued Chinese studies and International development. My Chinese studies led me to study abroad in Nanjing in China, where I was exposed to poverty-stricken environments. Meanwhile, my International development subjects showed me some of the solutions that were possible.

When I returned from studying abroad in China, I wanted to take action to combat poverty. I came up with the idea for Crepes for Change, which was the first business in a group now known as Society Melbourne.

My Arts degree has led to a fulfilling career in ethical entrepreneurship, and informed my practice as a pro bono lawyer."

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 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. Throughout the course you’ll develop your capabilities via the key themes of expert knowledge, global reach and focus, and collaboration and innovation.

Expert knowledgeWith its own advisory board, the Bachelor of Criminology brings into play the advice and dynamic perspectives of industry experts, meaning our students benefit from current insights into industry developments.

You’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, such as sexual violence, gendered violence, punishment, criminal justice processes, marginalisation, drugs, cybercrime, risk and surveillance, victimisation and perpetration, youth crime, and crime prevention and transnational justice practices.

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 academic knowledge you’ll 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 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 experts.

Further opportunities and internships are 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.

Double degrees The Bachelor of Criminology can be paired with the:• Bachelor of Arts• Bachelor of Information Technology • Bachelor of Laws (Honours).

INTERNATIONAL STUDY OPPORTUNITIESYou’ll have opportunities to travel internationally to meet criminal justice experts through a selection of exclusive field trips. Study tours include:• Crime and criminal justice in Asia• Comparative criminology in the US• Human rights and criminal justice

in Europe.

With partnerships with more than 150 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 degreesThe Bachelor of Global Studies can be taken as a double degree with the: • Bachelor of Commerce • Bachelor of Laws (Honours)• Bachelor of Science• Bachelor of Information Technology.

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.

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 with a minimum of three units taken overseas: • Cultural competence • Human rights • International relations • International studies.

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

SpecialisationsCultural competenceExtend your studies of leadership, culture and globalisation by focusing on communication across cultural borders. By studying one of eight internationally important languages – Chinese, Chinese Mandarin, 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 rightsIn 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 help to address issues such as global poverty, unequal access to medicine, warfare, terrorism, children’s rights, humanitarian intervention, torture, surveillance and more.

International relationsWhat 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.

International studiesIn 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.

Learning in different contexts in different countries enriches the learning experience so much. Students work together as a team to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues.”

Specialisations Politics and governanceThe study of politics addresses important questions about the nature of power, authority and governance: who gets what, when and how. Politics also encompasses the study of notions of freedom and agency in situations of social choice.

PhilosophyPhilosophy is the study of fundamental ideas about the world we live in. It questions the nature of our world, asks what constitutes a good life in such a world, and asks what could be done to make it better. In this specialisation you’ll be introduced to areas central to philosophy, including political philosophy, ethics and logic.

Economic analysisEconomic analysis provides an advanced understanding of the theories explaining and analysing the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, with a focus on how individuals, households, firms and governments interact and how economies work.

Any future leader needs to understand how people think and how societies work. Understanding our great thinkers and being able to challenge and question them is vitally important.”

Sixty-two million people in Indonesia are infected with hookworm, which is the leading cause of anemia worldwide.

I chose to study a Bachelor of Global Studies and a Bachelor of Science because it was a perfect pairing. With Science, I love the fact that you’re able to delve so deeply into a problem and - most of the time - find perfect solutions. On the other hand, Global Studies highlights how the world is too complex for simple answers - you have to appreciate nuance and think creatively.

Pairing these two disciplines together gave me the tools to be able to approach problems in a uniquely effective way. These tools have enabled me to create a social enterprise that makes a real difference in my community.”

UNDERSTANDING THE TERMINOLOGY Comprehensive degree At Monash Arts, this refers to the Bachelor of Arts. A comprehensive degree gives you the choice and flexibility to select your units (subjects), and requires you to complete 24 units in 3 years, including specific requirements such as completing an Arts major and Professional Futures units.

Specialist degree At Monash Arts, this refers to the Bachelor of Criminology, Bachelor of Global Studies, Bachelor of Media Communication, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics. You need to complete 24 units, including specific requirements such as completing a specialisation. In a specialist degree, you start studying your chosen area of study straight away.

Units Sometimes called a subject, units are usually worth six credit points. You need to complete 144 credit points in a three-year degree. 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 study An ‘area of study’ is a field of knowledge – for example, literary studies or sociology. Areas of study are sometimes called ‘disciplines’ See pages 23–32.

Major A 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.

Arts electives/MinorA minor is four units from the same area of study. In a Bachelor of Arts, you can choose to complete a minor or four individual units from your chosen areas. In most specialist degrees, your minor is prescribed.

Specialisation An Arts specialisation consists of 10–12 units and is a requirement of any of the specialist degrees.

Elective There are eight free elective units in all single Arts degrees. These can be taken from Arts, Business, IT or Science.

Having grown up in different countries, I was inherently curious about how the world works, and that’s what made me choose Monash - it has an international outlook.

My international experience fuelled my interest in having a global career. Monash gave me the practical skills to turn that dream into a reality.”
