If you want to see the general plan of your entire course then pick your specialization from below.

Teaching Subjects
You must choose two teaching subjects from the following list. To see a typical sequence of units for each subject follow the links.

Major
A Major is an approved sequence of units in one discipline or approved interdisciplinary area totalling at least 8 units, normally including at least 1 unit at Introductory level and at least 6 units at Advanced level. If you follow the sequence of units suggested in the BT/BA Course Information Guide then you should have no problems. If you miss a unit for any reason you should see your course coordinator to check that your sequence will meet the regulation.
There are four exceptions to this general description.

    • Students completing a major in Theological Studies will normally have studied the 3 Introductory units: THEO102, THEO107 and THEO113.
    • Students in the BT/BA(Tech) course will complete a major comprising 12 units.
    • Students in the BT/BA(Maths) course should complete a major comprising 12 units.
    • Students in the BT/BA(Vis Arts) course may complete a major comprising 12 units.

Minor
A Minor is an approved sequence of units in one discipline or approved interdisciplinary area totalling at least 4 units, normally including at least 1 unit at Introductory level and at least 2 units at Advanced level.

Non-Teaching Subjects
Students in the BT/BA must also complete 4 further units.

    • Students completing a major in Theological studies will use these four units for part of their Theological Studies major.
    • Students in the BT/BA(Tech) course will use these four units for part of their Technology major.
    • Students in the BT/BA(Maths) course should use these four units for part of their Mathematics major.
