Hey there,
I was wondering if it's possible to major in a business field if i'm taking an arts course?? Like, Arts - majoring in Management or something??
Thank-you!!

You can't. You can only major/minor in what is the listed in the hand book under arts areas.

You might be able to do some electives in business area depending on your exact degree.

I see. That's really confusing, because in WES it has this massive list with some arts majors, some business, some science etc.
Are you sure??? Should I only click the ones that have "arts" next to them??

It's ok to take units from other fields in arts degrees (or science degrees for that matter) but ultimately your major(s) has to be within that field

I am taking different units from different fields in my arts degree to try different things in my first year

Hope this helps

Btw out of interest what you thinking of majoring in?

I've never seen any such list of majors in WES. I have always just enrolled in individual units. Maybe the list is a thing for new students.

Thank you for the clarification !! I understand now!
I'm thinking of french/international relations.
What about you??

I think it's different for arts/law, which i got as first round - it only showed arts majors on that that list. whereas with arts by itself it shows everything.
thankyou for helping me

all good. i just checked WES myself and realised there was an area of study selection thing. they must have added it this year because I have never seen it before.

The area of study selection thing..  is it there available for double degrees or single degrees?

it's there for both. i've seen it when i was enrolling for law/arts, and then later on when i just went for arts.it's on the enrollment summary page, where there is a table.

Thanks! Im yet to fully grasp my way around wes n all that monash stuff 

Can you do two majors for arts in a double degree arts/law?

Yes you can!!

[chasej]

Yes, just replace the the four 'arts electives' units on the suggested course plan with the units you need to complete your second major.

Hey guys kinda of a newbie question but is there anything that's compulsory in o week apart from the intro that you receive with your faculty? I mean like im pretty keen to join clubs, snatch freebies and meet new people but other than that I dont really want to drive an hour to clayton everyday on that week.

nah, you don't need to go to every day. just pick the days you want to go based on what is going on - same goes for the rest of uni too lol.

For some of my first year subjects there are no recorded lectures. So I was wondering if I wanted to hear the content of a particular lecture again, would I be allowed to attend a different lecture (than the one allocated to me on my timetable) at some other time in the week? Can anyone go to any lecture?

Thanks

Assuming they don't take attendance for your lectures (don't really know how this would work if they do), then you can rock up to other lectures. Since they are first year units the lectures are likely to be full, especially because they aren't recorded. I've read other people on here doing similar things so I doubt it should really be a problem.
