- 12.5 credit points of Level 2 Core Subjects

As long as students complete one elective at level 1, two level core and the capstone in 3rd year, students taking the Gender Studies major or minor may select different gender-related subjects taught in the Arts Faculty not listed below to make up the required additional points at levels 2 and 3. This will require written approval of the Gender Studies coordinator.
*Note:
Please note: Students must undertake an Arts Discovery subject as part of the course requirements and the Arts Discovery subject can be counted in one major only. For this major, you will need to complete two Level 1 subjects.
If you are completing a double major the correct enrolment for this major at level 1 is: An Arts Discovery subject and one Level 1 Elective subject for the first major and two Level 1 Elective subjects for the second major.
