2021 Changes for the Bachelor of Arts
We have recently completed a review of the Bachelor of Arts and have made some changes to this program for students commencing in Semester 1, 2021.
Some of the changes were made to standardise aspects of UQ undergraduate programs, including minimum requirements for the study of Level 3 courses. Other changes were made to ensure that we have a sustainable suite of program, plan and course offerings.
When viewing the 2020 BA course list on the Programs and Courses website, you can change which year you are viewing using the dropdown box near the top right of the list to compare the 2021 BA with the pre-2021 program.
As a continuing student, your choice of plans (Minors, Majors, Extended Majors) will determine to what extent you are affected by these changes, but please be assured that if you remain in your pre-2021 single or dual degree program you will be able to complete the combination of plans you have commenced.
We are here to help you plan your enrolment for 2021.
4. Which plans will no longer be offered in 2021, and how do I complete a discontinued plan?
From 2021 onwards the following Minors, Majors and Extended Majors will no longer be offered for commencing students. However, as a continuing student, if you commenced studying one of these plans prior to 2021 in a single or dual program and you remain enrolled in your current program code, you can complete the plan with courses listed on the pre-2021 course list or new courses that may be available in a related 2021 course list. Please refer to the relevant completion planner to assist with your enrolment and contact the Student Administration team if you need advice.
