SPECIAL EXIT POINTS Nil
COURSE STRUCTURE The Bachelor of Arts consists of 360 credit points (twenty-four (24) units). Each unit is valued at fifteen (15) credit points. Students may only complete a maximum of 150 credit points worth of Level One units. The course has four components: Core units; a Major; a Minor; and a Supplementary Program. Students must complete the requirements of all four components:
The Bachelor of Arts has been designed with great flexibility, to provide students with an excellent range of choices whist still maintaining a coherent program. The selection of units within the program is subject to availability and normal University and Faculty Rules. This flexible approach does mean that students need to take great care in selecting an individual program of study which fulfils the course requirements. Additional notes and requirements relevant to choices are given below, but students are advised to consult with a School Student Support Officer or the relevant Major Coordinator in planning their course.

Note: Course programs for students with Japanese Majors will be slightly different.
Japanese Majors Course Programs
There are two Japanese Majors, one for Advanced – Post TEE students and one for Beginners. Each of these Majors have 135 credit points (nine (9) units). This is an exceptional pattern to accommodate the particular needs of students learning Japanese. The Supplementary Program will be reduced to 105 credit points (seven (7) units) for students selecting and completing a 135 credit point (nine (9) units) Japanese Major.
All students undertaking Majors in Japanese should consult a School Student Support Officer to develop a study plan and must confirm their study plans with the Japanese Major Coordinator.
