The Bachelor of Visual Arts is offered in full-time mode only. Students undertake all units of study to the value of 24 credit points per semester as prescribed for the course.
Permission to study part time may be granted at the discretion of the Dean and only in exceptional circumstances, which include major personal hardship; major health reasons; maternity leave and major study progression issues.
If you are an international student you must select units of study totalling 24 credit points per semester.
Bachelor of Visual Arts variation of major study
You may vary your major study in the Bachelor of Visual Arts provided that:
- you have successfully completed first semester of the first year studies and have credit average in all units of study
- there are space and facilities available in the discipline you wish to study
- the discipline to which you wish to change is satisfied that you have appropriate skills for study in the particular discipline. This may be determined at an interview to discuss your work.
Please note that limited approval is granted for variation of major study in the final year of the degree.
You will need to submit to Student Administration a request to change your major study that must be approved prior to the commencement of the semester for which the variation is to be effective.
External coursework and cross-credit study
You may request to undertake units other than those specifically prescribed for the course.
These units may be offered by the University of Sydney or another institution. If credit is required, then approval must be obtained beforehand for the substitution or addition. You are advised to consider carefully the timetable implications and work requirements of study undertaken in other faculties or institutions. You will need to complete an appropriate form and submit it to Student Administration along with a unit of study outline and a permission to enrol in that unit from the host faculty or institution, in the semester prior to intended study. It is your responsibility to ensure you comply with any requirements of the other faculty or institution.
