Commenced Program in 2022
If you commenced the BAdvSc(Hons) in 2022 you are required to follow the revised 2022 requirements. Refer to the 'Key Changes' to understand what has changed for the program.
Change to Structure
From Semester 1, 2022 the structure of the plans has changed. The 32 unit specialisations are no longer available. Students must instead complete one 16 unit major and one 16 unit honours field of study and may complete a second major and/or minor(s).
Although specialisations are no longer available, there is a corresponding major available to study under the revised 2022 program structure. There are 38 honours fields of study available - please note, as with the old program structure Psychology is not available as an honours field of study.
There are no changes to:
- Course offerings
- Program duration
- Honours calculation
- Advanced course requirements
Updating Your Details
For all 2022 students (and 2021 commencing students opting to follow the 2022 revised program, where specalisiations have been removed), you will need to update your plan in SI-net to:
- remove the specalisation (if already declared), and
- declare at least one major, and
- declare one honours field of study (which must be declared prior to the commencement of your honours courses)
