hey guys

I'm kinda stuck on choosing my subjects for the arts component of my degree - theres quite a few subjects I'm interested in but 1) I still can't figure out how the major/minor system works and 2) I'm not sure which ones will help me most (I want to go into international law)

Apparently I have to choose one major, one minor and 2 electives ... (?!?)

I'm interested in chinese, french studies, german studies, international studies, philosophy, politics and psychology.

Any ideas? cos I'm sooo stuck :( I suck at decisions lol

Collin Li:
You're interested in politics? How come I didn't know this.

This is how majors work:

Your degree will be awarded with the recognition that you 'majored' in a particular field of study if you complete specific subjects relevant to that field. Your university handbook should detail all of the majors and their requirements. I am not sure how the minor system works, I think that is just using the rest of your subjects to do some other field of study. I don't know if it is officially recognised.

International law probably requires some rudimentary understanding of economics. I would not trust a politics or international studies major/minor to teach you this. Try to take some economics subjects if possible.

" Arts students can take units from the following faculties without requesting any special permission from the teaching faculty (note that students must still meet any stated prerequisites or corequisites). Students wishing to take units from faculties other than these must obtain written permission before enrolling...
Faculty of Business and Economics"

:D

excal:
I believe a major sequence at Monash is 48 points, minors are 24 points (8/4 subjects respectively) in a given field.

As coblin said, you should poke around re: major/minor sequence requirements.
