Inherent requirements (core participation requirements)
The inherent academic requirements for study in the Bachelor of Arts are:
- the ability to attend classes and actively engage in both independent and group learning;
- the ability to comprehend complex disciplinary and interdisciplinary information related to the courses taught in the faculty;
- the ability to explain and evaluate complex concepts, theories and issues at work in a variety of texts;
- the ability to clearly communicate a knowledge and application of humanities, social sciences and language principles and practices during assessment tasks.
Students must possess behavioural and social attributes that enable them to participate in a complex learning environment. They must take full responsibility for their own participation and learning and adhere to the expectations outlined in the Student Charter.
Students also contribute to the learning of other students in collaborative environments and must therefore demonstrate a wide range of interpersonal skills which consider the needs of other students. Assessment may include the outcomes of tasks completed in collaboration with other students. Integrity, concern for others, interpersonal skills, interest, and motivation are all personal qualities that are deemed necessary for students enrolled in the BA.
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) welcomes applications from students with disabilities. It is University and Faculty policy to take all reasonable steps to enable the participation of students with disabilities. Students who feel their disability will prevent them from participating in tasks involving these inherent academic requirements are encouraged to contact Disability Liaison. Adjustments can be provided to minimise the impact of a disability; however, students should participate in the course in an independent manner.
