Foundation Studies Program (Standard) - Arts (X0F:1) (0100808) + Bachelor of Arts with Honours - Classics (R4A) (030426C)

Foundation Studies Program (Standard) - Arts (X0F:1) (0100808):

The Foundation Studies program is a direct academic pathway to first-year undergraduate degree study, or an equivalent. The program acts as a bridging course for international students who wish to study a university undergraduate degree course but who don’t yet meet academic requirements and/or have the English language skills for tertiary study.

To successfully complete the program, students must achieve a 50% pass in all units, including English.

Upon successful completion of the course, graduates can enter one of the University of Tasmania’s undergraduate degree courses.

Bachelor of Arts with Honours - Classics (R4A): At the University of Tasmania, students will be part of an academic community that cares deeply about the topics that they teach and study.

Students will learn to influence cultural and social change, and students will gain the knowledge and creativity to envision better futures. Students will take on the world’s cultural, environmental, and humanitarian challenges from multiple perspectives and gain the confidence to make a positive difference. In first year, students will have the opportunity to visit Country with an Aboriginal Elder or knowledge holder as part of the University of Tasmania's curriculum's reflection of the value and place of Indigenous knowledges and perspectives.

The Bachelor of Arts will equip students with a range of specialised and transferable skills that are highly sought after by employers: creative thinking, respect for multiple perspectives, and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.

By studying a Bachelor of Arts with Honours students will learn to: • Articulate underlying principles, concepts and approaches to research in one or more disciplines. • Critically evaluate and reflect on a range of social, cultural, political, ethical and environmental issues in local, cross-cultural and global contexts, through synthesis of different perspectives. • Communicate disciplinary perspectives and knowledge effectively and ethically, to specialist and non-specialist audiences using written, oral and visual means. • Plan and implement a major independent project in the context of scholarship and/or professional practice. • Employ self-management, creativity, flexibility, initiative, and resilience in completing course study, showing readiness for further study or work.
