Introduction
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the AssocDegArts in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006,
the applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2004 should refer to the 2004
Handbook.
Admission & Prerequisites
The program offers an alternative method of entry for applicants who do not meet the standard admission requirements. It prepares students
for entry to further undergraduate degrees in the Arts Faculty of the University of Tasmania. Specific units from the foundation component
of the Associate Degree may be taken by students seeking admission to degree programs with specific admission pre-requisites.
Objectives
The course aims to meet the needs of students who may have a limited background in arts, and in academic studies in general, by:
providing an introductory unit in academic literacies, titled 'Thinking and Writing at University', as well as more advanced units on
University of Tasmania, Course Guide 2006 www.utas.edu.au/courses/ 6
'Computer Applications' and 'Critical Thinking';
providing opportunities to acquire knowledge, attitudes and skills in a range of disciplines;
providing graduates with core knowledge in at least two arts disciplines; and
developing academic and scientific skills to allow students to articulate with confidence into a Bachelors Degree for further in-depth
study.
Articulation To Course
On successful completion of foundation units students may apply for their enrolment to be transferred to a Bachelor degree. With the
exception of 'Thinking and Writing at the University', credit can be given for the units into a Bachelor degree. Students articulating into the
Bachelor of Arts degree will be able to receive up to 200% of credit and - given the appropriate selection that satisfies the requirements of
two majors - will be able to satisfy the Years 1 and 2 core requirements of the BA specifications. The Associate Degree will also provide an
exit point for those students not wishing to take out the BA degree.
Course Structure
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the AssocDegArts in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006,
the applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2004 should refer to the 2004
Handbook.
To qualify for the Associate Degree in Arts, students must successfully complete 200% in:
Foundation Level Units - students either select 0 - 37.5% of foundation units or enrolment in foundation unit(s) may bea condition of
offer to the degree and students will be advised which unit(s) to enrol in from:
HFE100 - Thinking and Writing at the University (12.5%)
KXA153 Computer Applications (12.5%), and
HPA103 Critical Thinking (12.5%)
A minimum of 150% of units from the Schedule, at least 50% of which will come from Level 200 (Second year units). To maximise
the potential for articulation, students will be required to include 25% of first year units in one discipline to provide the basis for a
major.
Students will have a free choice of up to 50% of units from anywhere in the University in place of Foundation Level Units.

Associate Degree in Music Studies - F2Q ( AssocDegMusSt )
Campus(es) Offered: Hobart:
Course Duration: Minimum 2yrs, Maximum 6 yrs.
Course Contact: (faculty or school):
Introduction
The Associate Degree in Music Studies degree is for students who are interested in gaining a wide understanding of music and developing
knowledge, skills and techniques appropriate to employment in music related industries or other activities related to music or involving
broad knowledge of music.
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the AssocDegMusSt in 2006. For students who commenced prior to
2006, the applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2005 should refer to the 2005
Handbook.
Admission & Prerequisites
Normal university entry requirements apply. Applicants are required to take appropriate diagnostic tests to determine their level of music
literacy.
Objectives
The course aims to provide students with the opportunity to gain a working knowledge of the academic, cultural, critical and technical
language of music. The structure of the degree provides students with a comprehensive choice of units allowing students to improve their
skills in broad areas of interest: solo and ensemble performance, composition, music history, musicianship and theory, audio design and
MIDI technology.
Articulation To Course
Students who complete the AssocDegMusSt may apply to articulate into the BMusSt. All units successfully completed in the
AssocDegMusSt could potentially be credited towards the BMusSt. NB: The Bachelor of Music Studies does have required units so, for
complete credit transfer from the Associate degree, unit choice would need to comply with the more structured schedule of the BMusSt.
Students who wish to specialise in performance or composition may, upon completion of the AssocDegMusSt apply for the BMus in their
area of specialization and, if accepted, have up to 100% credited towards the BMus, of units taken that also appear in the Bachelor of Music
schedule.

Bachelor of Arts - R3A ( BA )
Campus(es) Offered: Hobart: Launceston: Cradle Coast:
Course Duration: Minimum 3yrs, Maximum 9 yrs.
Course Contact: (faculty or school):
Introduction
This 3-year (minimum) course is available at Hobart, Launceston and the Cradle Coast campus. Some units are also available externally by
distance education to Australian residents who are unable to attend classes on either the Hobart or Launceston campus or at the Cradle Coast
campus. Students may study full time or part time and have nine enrolment years, including the year of passing the first unit for the degree,
in which to complete course requirements. If students are studying by distance education their choice of units is limited and may be varied
from time to time. They should check the availability of units before planning their course. Entry to the course normally occurs in February,
but limited entry is also available in July.
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the BA in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006, the
applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2004 should refer to the 2004 Handbook.
Admission & Prerequisites
Applicants are expected to meet the normal requirements set by the University for entry to degree courses. There are also several categories
of special admission. No specific course or subject prerequisites apply.
Objectives
The Bachelor of Arts offers the opportunity for a liberal education. Students are able to exercise choice across a wide range of disciplines.
These include the humanities (Ancient Civilisations, Ancient Greek, Latin, English, History, Asian Languages, European Languages and
Philosophy) and the social sciences (Geography, International Relations, Political Science, Psychology, Public Policy and Sociology) as well
as interdisciplinary studies (Aboriginal Studies, Asian Studies, European Studies, Natural Environment and Wilderness Studies, Social
Ecology, Gender Studies and Journalism, Media & Communications).
The program develops general abilities in the following areas:
written expression
linguistic skills
creative self-expression
capacity to analyse and interpret in a dispassionate and objective manner
capacity for reasoned criticism
data acquisition and analysis
research techniques
marshalling facts in support of arguments, and
evaluating the possible outcomes of alternative courses of action, with the emphasis varying according to the particular program
chosen.
In short, the program helps students to operate in a complex and rapidly changing world.
Career Outcomes
In Australia and around the world, employers are increasingly seeing graduates who can speak and write clearly; who are computer literate
and understand how to use technology; who know about other countries, cultures and societies; who can solve problems creatively; and who
have developed that flexibility of thought which technical and vocational training rarely encourages. Graduates with a Bachelor of Arts
degree find jobs in, for example: advertising, journalism, radio and television; the arts, heritage and museology; diplomacy, interpreting and
tourism; management, marketing and administration; politics, the public service, the police force and the armed forces; teaching, research
and publishing; psychology, counselling and community work.

Language students who enter the BA at level 200 in the language take only 75% of units at level 100 and take extra units at levels
200/300 in the language to make up the total required for the major and for the 300% required for the degree.
Full-time students normally take a 100% load each year to complete in the minimum time. Students who are working in addition to
their study may take as little as 25% load in any one year, but should be mindful of the maximum time allowed for them to complete.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - R4A ( BA(Hons) )
Campus(es) Offered: Hobart: Launceston:
Course Duration: Minimum 1yr, Maximum 2 yrs.
Course Contact: (faculty or school):
Introduction
This on-campus, 1 year full time (or, at the discretion of the relevant School, 2 consecutive years part time) course is available at Hobart and
Launceston. Candidates whose work has been interrupted by illness or other unavoidable cause may be permitted to complete their course
over a longer period of time.
Candidates wishing to apply for a place must submit an application form, obtainable from Student Administration, by mid-December of the
year before that in which they wish to commence study. The accompanying Schedule lists the disciplines which offer honours courses.
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the BA(Hons) in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006, the
applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2004 should refer to the 2004 Handbook.
Admission & Prerequisites
Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honours:
must have qualified for admission to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or another approved Bachelor degree, in this University or
another approved tertiary institution;
if a candidate from another approved tertiary institution, must have qualified for admission to a fourth year honours course in the
proposed discipline of study or a cognate discipline;
are required by Faculty to have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 6.0 or better in the 200 and 300 level units forming a major in that
discipline. Currently, the GPA is calculated on the basis of a HD=9, DN=7.5, CR=6.5, PP/FP=5.5; TP=5.0, NN=4.0 for the units at
200 and 300 level in the proposed discipline;
if undertaking a combined honours program, should qualify for entry in both disciplines to be studied;

standard in the major higher than the Faculty minimum GPA for entry to their honours program.
Admission in semester 2 is possible in some programs. Contact the relevant school for information.
BA(Hons) course specifications are published in the Calendar, copies of which are held in the University Library, Student Administration,
School Offices and the Faculty Office, and is available on the Web starting at http://www.admin.utas.edu.au/HANDBOOKS/handbooks.html
University of Tasmania, Course Guide 2006 www.utas.edu.au/courses/ 60
Objectives
The Bachelor of Arts with Honours course allows candidates to pursue in-depth study in the discipline or disciplines of their choice and at
the same time to demonstrate a level of excellence that will allow them to pursue higher degree studies.
Career Outcomes
In Australia and around the world, employers are increasingly seeing graduates who can speak and write clearly; who are computer literate
and understand how to use technology; who know about other countries, cultures and societies; who can solve problems creatively; and who
have developed that flexibility of thought which technical and vocational training rarely encourages. Graduates with a Bachelor of Arts
(Honours) degree find jobs in, for example: advertising, journalism, radio and television; the arts, heritage and museology; diplomacy,
interpreting and tourism; management, marketing and administration; politics, the public service, the police force and the armed forces;
teaching, research and publishing; psychology, counselling and community work.
Articulation To Course
Persons who have successfully completed the Bachelor of Arts with Honours may apply for entry to a higher degree (Masters or PhD) in
accordance with policies governing candidature for such admission.
Miscellaneous Information
General provisions
The Dean may, on the recommendation of the Head of School, grant a candidate an extension of time for the completion of a thesis where a
thesis is required as part of an honours examination.
Except by special permission of the Faculty there is no re-examination for honours in any one discipline.
The classes of honours are First Class, Second Class, and Third Class. There is an upper and lower division in the second class.
Candidates who have obtained honours in one course may proceed to honours in another course provided that they undertake a further year's
work and provided that the discipline or disciplines which comprise the earlier course are not included in the later course.
Course Structure
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the BA(Hons) in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006, the
applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2004 should refer to the 2004 Handbook.
A candidate for the degree must pursue either a single course of study in one honours discipline, or a joint course of study in two honours
disciplines.
The disciplines which may be studied as single honours courses are those listed in the schedule which follows. Unless exempted by the
Faculty, a candidate may not enrol in the Honours course in a discipline listed unless the corresponding prerequisite requirements have been
obtained.
Joint honours courses consist of such combinations of the disciplines listed in the schedule as Faculty may from time to time approve. A
candidate may not enrol in a joint honours course unless permitted to do so by the Faculty on the recommendation of the heads of the two
Schools concerned. Candidates must either have passed the prerequisite units prescribed in the schedule for both the proposed disciplines or
have otherwise satisfied the heads of the two Schools that they are sufficiently qualified to undertake the joint course.
Candidates undertake a program comprising a number of coursework units and a research thesis. Candidates should consult individual
discipline entries for full details.

University of Tasmania, Course Guide 2006 www.utas.edu.au/courses/ 90
competitive.
Objectives
The Bachelor of Fine Arts is designed to give students a broad visual arts education and to offer them a wide range of possible disciplines in
which to undertake a major program of study. The course requires a commitment to studio-based study, and also offers a substantial program
in art and design theory. There are opportunities for specialised study in various disciplines, all of which are informed by a rigorous and
challenging ongoing theoretical debate. Majors may be undertaken in a range of studio practices. Students may also choose to do an art and
design theory major in which they specialise in units from the Art Theory program and are eligible to enrol in a number of units cross-listed
from other disciplines in the Faculty of Arts.
Career Outcomes
Graduates from the Bachelor of Fine Arts find employment in a variety of positions within the arts professions, including curatorial work,
gallery administration, research and teaching, as well as participating in individual and group-generated projects and studio practice.
Articulation To Course
Students who complete the BFA with sufficient merit and who have completed 75% of Art and Design Theory units are eligible to apply for
entry into the BFA(Hons) course.
Miscellaneous Information
Credit
Students who are accepted for transfer from other institutions can be given status for equivalent studies satisfactorily completed in bachelor
degree programs in other universities. Applicants who are accepted for admission, and who have satisfactorily completed a related TAFE
diploma, can be awarded status for up to one year or one-third of the degree requirement.
Students who have completed another previous degree and are commencing study in the BFA will normally be granted 25% credit towards
the BFA. Credit is granted for study completed within the past ten years; but for those seeking credit for qualifications completed more than
ten years ago, consideration will be given to evidence of continuing professional practice in the field.
Transfer provisions
A student successfully completing all level 100 units of the course at one campus will be eligible to transfer to units at level 200 at the other
campus with full status for level 100 units. However, they would normally only be able to enrol in major units at level 200 if they have
completed the prerequisite level 100 major unit (full year level 100 Studio for Hobart students transferring to Launceston; semester 1
Introduction to 2D and 3D studies, full year Drawing and 25% semester 2 Studios for Launceston students transferring to Hobart). In
exceptional circumstances the relevant discipline head or Head of School may approve an appropriate set of subjects to serve as a
prerequisite where a stated prerequisite is not met.
Units from other courses
Students are permitted to enrol in units from another degree course to count towards the BFA, provided that the weighting of these units
totals no more than 75%, being no more than 25% in each of years 1, 2 and 3.
Students enrolled in other courses
Students from other degree courses can take units in fine arts. However, many units have strict quotas and entry to the units is subject to
School approval. Contact the School for details.

University of Tasmania, Course Guide 2006 www.utas.edu.au/courses/ 97
Introduction
This on-campus full-time (minimum 1 year), or part-time (minimum 2 years) course is offered by the Faculty of Arts through the Tasmania
School of Art at Hobart .
Note: Students wishing to undertake honours study in visual arts in Launceston will enrol in the new Bachelor of Contemporary Arts with
Honours course.
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the BFA(Hons) in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006,
the applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2004 should refer to the 2004
Handbook.
Admission & Prerequisites
For entry to the BFA(Hons) degree students must:
have completed a BFA degree or equivalent;
have completed 75% of Art and Design Theory units with an average of a Credit or above in their third year units unless there are
exceptional circumstances. One only of these units must be a Professional Practice unit;
in the studio major, students are required to gain at least Distinctions in 75% of studio units, 50% of which must be in the third year
of the major;
in the Art and Design Theory major, students are required to gain at least a distinction average in 75% of units in the major, 50% of
which must be in the final year.
Objectives
Studio candidates
The course allows students to concentrate on developing a body of work of a speculative and individual nature. The emphasis is placed on a
spirit of excellence and a strong sense of independent enquiry. Experimentation is encouraged and the candidate should have a firm
commitment to the articulation of visual art theory in written, verbal and visual form, and its integration into art practice.
Candidates work with one or two supervisors in a studio/teaching area, and must be prepared to articulate the line of investigation which
they wish to pursue. This will take the form of a proposal which establishes the framework for assessment.
Candidates also undertake a seminar program in which they present three short papers (approx 1,000 words each) discussing the content,
form and context of their work. In consultation with theory staff and their studio supervisors candidates merge these three papers into their
Research Essay (approx 3,000 words). This paper is presented as part of the candidates' examination submission. For studio-based
candidates, the Art Theory component makes up approximately one fifth of the course.
Candidates will be examined by a panel of academic staff, on a presentation of visual work representing results of study undertaken during
the year, along with the research essay which contextualises their work, and any other written documentation, such as diaries, notebooks and
other relevant material. Candidates must satisfy the examiners as to the quality of their submissions in both studio and theory.
Theory candidates
Students undertaking Honours in Art and Design Theory will be required to write a Thesis (approx. 15,000 words) on a topic devised in
consultation with their supervisor. In addition they will be required to write an essay (approx. 5,000 words) on a topic related to but separate
from their thesis, and a Research Essay (approx. 3,000 words) outlining the content, methodology and context of their work. As with the
studio candidates, the Research Essay will be developed in the form of three short papers and presented in the Honours Seminar program.

Introduction
The Bachelor of Social Science (BSocSc) is a 3-year course, offered on the Launceston campus only, which provides a focused course of
study for students wanting to gain expertise in social science applied to practical real-world issues. It links the disciplinary bases of human
resource management, sociology, political science, public policy, psychology and social ecology to their practical applications. It combines
units from the Faculty of Arts with units from the Faculty of Commerce, and the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology. It teaches
valuable skills in the methodology of social research and prepares graduates particularly for careers in the post-industrial service and
information sector.
Students may study full time or part time and have nine enrolment years, including the year of passing the first unit for the degree, in which
University of Tasmania, Course Guide 2006 www.utas.edu.au/courses/ 118
to complete course requirements. Students currently enrolled in other degree courses at the University may apply for entry to the BSocSc.
Credit may be granted for some or all of their previous study. Prospective students wishing to transfer at a later date to the Bachelor of Social
Work degree should discuss their program with a Faculty Officer. Limited mid-year entry is available to this course.
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the BSocSc in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006, the
applicable course rules are those from the year of commencement. i.e. students who commenced in 2004 should refer to the 2004 Handbook.
Admission & Prerequisites
Applicants will be expected to meet the minimum entry requirements, which include several categories of special admission, set by the
University for entry to degree courses. No specific Faculty or subject prerequisites apply.
Objectives
The Bachelor of Social Science aims to give undergraduates a broad exposure to applied social science, while allowing them to study social
science and management issues within a non-professional educational context. Students will be able to link the disciplinary bases of
management and administrative studies to their practical applications.
The program will develop a student's general abilities in the areas of:
written expression
linguistic skills
creative self-expression
capacity to analyse and interpret in a dispassionate and objective manner
capacity for reasoned criticism
data acquisition and analysis
research techniques
marshalling facts in support of arguments, and
evaluating the possible outcomes of alternative courses of action, with the emphasis varying according to the particular program
chosen.
Students will be able to prepare themselves for careers in the post-industrial service sector whilst acquiring a qualification that will certify
them in the specific knowledge and skills that social science can offer. Students may obtain professional recognition from the Australian
Human Resources Institute if they have completed a Human Resource Management major.
Career Outcomes
Graduates of the Bachelor of Social Science will be strong applicants for positions in a wide range of fields such as social and market
research, human resource management, public administration and management in commonwealth, state and local government, policy
analysis, social welfare administration, journalism and the media, and industrial relations.
Articulation From Course
A student who has completed or partly completed another degree from this University or another approved institution can apply for credit for
their previous study towards the BSocSc degree. Units from courses offered by other faculties of the University may be included provided
they do not exceed the permissible weighting.
Miscellaneous Information

be subject to quotas and formal selection procedures.
Students interested in studying the BSocSc degree must complete an Application for Admission form available from Student Administration

At level 100, students must complete units from a minimum of three disciplines (weighted at a maximum of 25% for each discipline). These
can be chosen from Sociology, Human Resource Management, Introduction to Government or Psychology. The remaining 25% can be taken
from those mentioned above, or can be taken from units such as English, Geography, History, Indonesian, Philosophy, or units from the
Faculty of Commerce.
Introduction to Law (weighted at 25%) may also be taken as a level 100 unit, but students who include this in their program of study are not
permitted to take a Law major as part of this particular degree course in subsequent years.
At level 200, students select two major subjects which they study over the remaining two years of the award. Each consists of eight 12.5%
units, some of which may be compulsory for each major. Currently students have a choice among five majors: Human Resource
Management, Political Science, Psychology, Public Policy and Sociology. Note: Currently, students are not able to complete majors in both
University of Tasmania, Course Guide 2006 www.utas.edu.au/courses/ 119

Introduction
This on-campus 3-year (minimum) full-time course is offered by the Faculty of Arts through the Conservatorium of Music and the
Tasmanian School of Art at Hobart. Part-time study is also available.
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the BTM in 2006. For students who commenced prior to 2006, the

Admission & Prerequisites
Admission to the course will be through the usual acceptance into university admission plus a successful presentation of a folio of works,
admission diagnostic test and interview.
The folio of works should consist of three short contrasting pieces of multimedia work, eg quicktime movie; moving image web design
project; short video, etc.
The admission diagnostic test will act to inform the interview panel of the applicant's level of technical ability with current hardware and
software. The diagnostic test will determine, through staff questions and the student's demonstration at a computer workstation, the overall
level of aptitude and skill-base of the applicant.
The interview focuses on the applicant's background, their technical, artistic and career aspirations and general ability to synthesise the
diverse elements of multimedia software, hardware and aesthetics.
Objectives
The BTM comprises music and art units. The music units are of two types, computer based music creation and broad music history, and will
provide:
1. Music technical skills and abilities appropriate for multimedia, and
2. A broad understanding of music styles that will allow the student to draw upon a wider range of music types in the creation of multi-
media projects
The art units are also of two types, moving-imaging units and design theory units, and provide:
1. The technological skills for image manipulation in a time-based environment
2. The design skills appropriate to focus and refine the technological skills being learned
The course also has as an objective imparting to the student an appreciation and foundational understanding of how sound and image work
together in time to create successful multimedia experiences and expressions.
Career Outcomes
The BTM aims to create focused practitioners in the field of time-based multimedia. The course will allow for outputs of a highly practical
nature making it an attractive training pathway for industry, while allowing for more abstract and artistic outputs creating high-level,
theoretically informed time-based multimedia art practitioners. Graduates can expect to find employment in the multimedia industry, in roles
such as computer-based music production, audio design, the graphic design environment and video production.
