1. COURSE INFORMATION

Course Introduction

This course combines the study of 180cp from the Bachelor of Arts with 120cp from the study of Global Studies and 20cp from Core Curriculum units. It includes one semester of Study Abroad or an International Internship. The program map provides the details of what to study in each year. Details of the units to study in the majors and minors of the BA portion of the degree are provided in the section on Unit Selection. Details of Global Studies electives can also be found in that section. There have been some major changes to units in your degree for 2018 that you must be aware of:

1) GLST200 has been replaced by SOCS243. If you have already completed GLST200 then this is fine,

and if you have not, then you are to take SOCS243 in its place.

2) GLST201 has been replaced by GEOG207. If you have already completed GLST201 then this is fine,

and if you have not, then you are to take GEOG207 in its place.

Course Structure

The ACU Handbook1 provides detailed information about each ACU course, including minimum duration, requirements for completion, exit points, any available majors/minors/specialisations, Core Curriculum Program units and descriptions of units.

Credit for Previous Study

If you have already studied at university level or have significant relevant work experience, you can apply for credit towards your ACU course. Credited units replace units you would otherwise study, so you can finish your course earlier. You can apply for credit towards your ACU course by completing an Application for Credit / Recognition of Prior Learning form. The form should be submitted no later than the census date in the first semester of your enrolment in the course. The census date is the last day you can make changes to your student enrolment before you become committed to your fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find the units (subjects) for each major and minor? The section of the guide under ‘Unit Information’ has a link to a full list of units connected to your degree. First year students should start by enrolling in units at the introductory 100 level and will have a 1 as the first number. The Course Enrolment Guide is a ‘live’ document it may be updated throughout the year, and each year, you should download your own copy of the new Course Enrolment Guide for your degree. Please pay close attention to your Course map when enrolling into your units for the year.

What happens if I want to do study that is not listed for the degree I am enrolled in? It’s important not to mix and match between different degrees.

I have finished first year and I am now enrolling for second year. Is there anything I need to know before I

enrol?

Follow your program map and, by now, you should have decided what your Majors (and possibly Minor) areas are, and therefore what units you will select from Global Studies List A, B, and C, and for your Global Studies Electives. You should also now be seriously planning what you will do for your overseas global studies experience next year (in Year 3)

I have failed one (or more units) in a semester. How do I now choose what units to take for my degree?

If you fail one or more units in a semester, you must arrange a meeting with your Course Coordinator to discuss the correct path of study for you. In many cases, you will have to wait 12 months for the failed unit to become available to you again, so you will need a customised Program Map that you can follow to ensure you meet the requirements of your degree. What is the difference between a major and a minor?

Depending on which Global Studies dual degree you are enrolled in, you will need to decide on a ‘Major’ and/or ‘Minor’ area of study. A major consist of 8 units (80 cp) in the same area of study (discipline), usually with the same first four letter code (eg. GEOG is for Geography units, HIST for History units). A "Major" is 80 cp in prescribed units in one discipline or approved interdisciplinary area, normally including at least 10 cp at introductory level, at least 40 cp at 200 level and at least 20 cp from 300 level. A "Minor" is 40 cp in prescribed units in one discipline or approved interdisciplinary area, normally including at least 10 cp at introductory level and at least 20 cp at advanced level.

I have a disability and would like to know what support the university provides The university has a Disability Liaison Unit to assist students with ways the university can support study at ACU. This includes assistance with tutorial times, note takers, exam and test adjustments and many other forms of support. It’s a good idea to make contact with the disability advisors early (well before the start of the semester If possible) so that an Individual Education Plan can be established for you. I would like to change my major or minor, is that possible? Yes, it is possible. Depending on where you are in your degree this may extend your degree. Please consult your course coordinator before making changes. What is my GPA and how can I calculate it? Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is a measure of how you are performing in your studies through time. You may find your current GPA via Student Connect, or you can calculate it yourself following these guidelines in Section 9.4 http://handbook.acu.edu.au/handbooks/handbook_2018/general_information/2018_academic_regulations

Study Abroad or Global Studies International Internship Program (GSIIP)

Global Studies degrees feature a compulsory overseas experience in semester 2 of Year 3: GLST300 (internship) or GLST301-304 (Study Abroad). You need to familiarize yourself with when you are due to complete this experience, and begin planning from the start of your degree what you will do. You will need to attend information sessions on Study Abroad and the GSIIP in the year BEFORE you undertake your overseas experience, normally Year 2 of your degree. Please note that some Study Abroad and GSIPP activities will have additional entry requirements such as a minimum GPA.

Working with Children and Police Checks

Those students participating in the Global Studies International Internship Program must obtain background checks as required by Federal and State/Territory laws if their proposed work might involve working with children. Please refer to ACU’s webpage for requirements in your local State or Territory. Your application for the GSIIP should include evidence of the relevant Federal and/or State working with children and police checks, where relevant. https://www.acu.edu.au/staff/human_resources/working_@_acu/health,_safety_and_wellbeing/protecting_children_and_vulnerable_adults/legislation_and_regulations Your application for the Internship should include evidence of the relevant Federal and/or State working with children and police checks, where relevant. You may also require further checks as stipulated by your host country or organisation if you undertake an

internship program overseas.

The two University Core Curriculum units are: UNCC100 Self and Community: Exploring the Anatomy of Modern Society UNCC300 Justice and Change in a Global World These units are often taught over differing week patterns to allow for student placements at various times during semester. Students should take special care to note the week pattern of tutorials when they allocate in tutorial direct to ensure that they are choosing the correct stream for their course. These units are also offered in intensive mode in winter and summer.
