Introduction
These course rules and specifications apply to students commencing the AssocDegArts in 2008. For students who commenced prior to 2008, 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
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.
Course 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 '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/from Course
On successful completion of foundation units students may apply to transfer to a Bachelor degree. Of the foundation units only HPA103 and KXA153 can count to a Bachelor degree (subject to Bachelor rules). The Associate Degree will also provide an exit point for those students not wishing to take out a Bachelor degree.
