About Foundation Studies Program (Standard) - Arts (X0F:1) (0100808) + Bachelor of Arts with Honours - Politics and Policy (R4A) (030426C)
Program Description
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 - Politics and Policy (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.
In the first year students will learn about political institutions and policy processes. In the second and third years they will learn to compare political systems and policies, focus more closely on a policy area that interests students (environmental or marine politics and policy, for example), and have the opportunity to undertake an internship with the Tasmanian Parliament or Tasmanian State Service.
Studying Politics and Public Policy in Tasmania will give students the opportunity to directly engage with state policy makers and to observe firsthand the politics of debating and accepting particular shifts in policy; students will learn to analyse social and organisational structures, and understand complex concepts, as well as legal and political communication. Throughout students' studies they will deepen their reading, debating, writing and researching skills. The skills acquired in this program will prepare students for work in civil society settings, public services, political institutions, the media and other complex organisations.
