Arts and Social Sciences (Undergraduate) Handbook 2021

Using this handbook

The Arts and Social Sciences faculty offers you a suite of undergraduate courses and majors developed in consultation with leaders in their field. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences will give you access to a vibrant, academically rigorous community.

The handbook provides you with the rules and requirements of your degree and its components – majors, minors, and units of study. It should be read in conjunction with the advice found in your Sydney Student unit of study selection screens. While online systems will help ensure you meet these rules and requirements, it is also expected that you are familiar with these so you can make informed enrolment decisions accordingly.

Find a unit outline

Unit of study outlines help you plan your unit choices, organise your studies and assessments, and provide evidence of the topics you have studied.

Unit outlines will be available through Find a unit outline two weeks before the first day of teaching for 1000-level and 5000-level units, or one week before the first day of teaching for all other units.
