Campus: Gardens Point, Carseldine and Caboolture Course Outline

The Bachelor of Arts allows you to design your degree to suit your own interests and career aspirations. You will complete 24 units of study.

* You are REQUIRED to complete:

- One multidisciplinary major (7 units)from International and Global Studies

Society and Change Ethics and Human Rights Community Studies Australian Studies

* The remaining 17 units of study will consist of your choice from the following options:

- An additional multidisciplinary major (7 units)

- An Arts discipline major (6 units) from Geography History Sociology Political Studies French German Indonesian Japanese Mandarin

- An Arts minor/s in any of the multidisciplinary or discipline majors (4 units)

- A co-major, an approved university minor, or individual electives in another QUT course (up to 8 units)

- A work-based Internship (2 units)

First Year at Caboolture

By including the Caboolture option on your QTAC application you have the opportunity to take the first year of the Bachelor of Arts at QUT's Caboolture campus. It is the same course as at Carseldine campus with the exception that the first year is tailored towards the availability of units offered at that campus. After completing your first year (or 96 credit points), you must then continue with the remainder of the course at the Carseldine campus.

It should be noted that credit/advanced standing will not be granted for Caboolture students - excluding START QUT studies. To receive credit, you must apply for entry to the program offered at Carseldine.

International and Global Studies Multidisciplinary Major

The International and Global Studies multidisciplinary major is an ideal choice if you wish to work in areas that demand and value knowledge of trends and outcomes in internationalisation, understanding of cultural diversity, knowledge of world regions, cultures and societies, and skills associated with global literacy. You may choose to concentrate on 'global perspectives' or 'international studies' (Asian studies, European studies or Pacific studies). You may combine this major with language study in Indonesian, French, Japanese, German or Mandarin.

Society and Change Multidisciplinary Major

The Society and Change major provides an multidisciplinary approach to understanding the dynamics of social change with particular emphasis on the environment, change and society, societies in transition, and the individual and society. You will acquire substantive knowledge on social and cultural aspects of change, and will be challenged to take a critical and analytical approach to your study. Many of the units provide case studies of social change, and as a graduate of this major you will be equipped with transferable analytical, research and interpersonal skills that are in demand in policy, research and community work.

Ethics and Human Rights Multidisciplinary Major

The Ethics and Human Rights multidisciplinary major provides you with the opportunity to develop as a socially responsible and responsive practitioner. Dramatic changes in the human condition, such as those already emerging from globalisation and biotechnology, will be a significant feature of life in the twenty-first century. This major will equip you with understandings, skills and strategies that will enable you to address change in ways that promote the well-being of individuals and communities. The major is organised around five themes: ethical understandings and theory, human rights, identity studies, ethics and technology and ethical practice.

Australian Studies Multidisciplinary Major

The Australian Studies multidisciplinary major examines past, present and future Australia from a variety of discipline

(6)

and interdisciplinary approaches. Australian studies is a contested, endless conversation and the units reflect the many perspectives which researchers now adopt in trying to understand what 'Australia' is like as a society, a nation, a place and a home to indigenous and non-indigenous citizens. The major will equip you with knowledge about Australians and Australia and its role in the world. In addition, as a graduate you will have the confidence to engage in empirical and theoretical debates about what has happened, and should happen in Australia.

Community Studies Multidisciplinary Major

In the Community Studies multidisciplinary major the 'knowledge explosion' is addressed by an open-ended teaching and learning approach to equip you to better understand the communities to which you belong from past, present and future perspectives. As you get to know how communities are structured, you will consider what holds communities together and what undermines them, and consider how communities can be enhanced. The major encompasses the concept of community and a detailed investigation of community processes.

Minors

All of the multidisciplinary and discipline majors in the Bachelor of Arts can also be taken as four-unit minors. Note also that all QUT faculties offer agreed sets of units as 'university minors'.

Deferment

QUT allows current Year 12 school leavers to defer their undergraduate admission offer for one year, or for six months if offered mid-year admission, except in courses u s i n g s p e c i f i c a d m i s s i o n r e q u i r e m e n t s s u c h a s questionnaires, portfolios, auditions, prior study or work experience.

Non-year 12 students may also request to defer their QTAC offer on the basis of demonstrated special circumstances.

Standard credit points per full-time semester: 48 Standard credit points per part-time semester: 24 Course coordinator: Dr Phil Crane

Campus: Carseldine Course Outline

The Bachelor of Human Services has a strong focus on contemporary social issues and produces competent human services workers who will care for and protect the rights of people, families and communities. You will complete 24 units of study.

You will specialise in at least one service area: - aged services

- child and family services - corrective services - disability services - services to young people

You will develop a range of professional skills such as: - casework and case management

- social policy processes

- team practice and group processes - community work

- crisis and conflict resolution - social research methods - Indigenous Australia - child protection intervention

Professional Practice Placements

You will gain hands-on experience in this course through two professional practice placements.

In first semester of your second year you will explore the diversity of practice methods through the Introduction to Practice. You will undertake a total of 140 hours of volunteer

placement/s in a human service agency.

Your theoretical and practical studies will culminate in a 36 credit point Advanced Professional Practice placement in second semester of your third year. This placement will generally reflect your specialised service context area. You will develop a learning plan in consultation with your agency supervisor and a university staff member. During this 400-hour supervised placement in a human services agency, you will further develop your assessment and intervention skills and your own practice framework. It may be possible to undertake this 12 week placement with an overseas agency.

These professional practice placements provide many valuable opportunities for networking within the human services industry.

Service Contexts

AGED SERVICES

Aged services units will focus your attention on the historical, social, and cultural scene within which services to older adults operate; aspects of intelligence, memory and learning in relation to ageing; and perspectives of work and retirement. You will investigate the home environment and living with change, relations with family members, and dealing with death and grief. You will explore issues around the health and wellness status of older adults and will investigate the needs of this group of people as they grow older in the Australian environment. Throughout this unit you will develop a critical awareness of practice issues and the impact of ethical considerations.

CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES

Child and family services units provide you with a firm grounding in theories, practices and processes essential for understanding and intervening in family life. You will be introduced to child and family welfare studies and will focus on approaches to supporting families and promoting change. You will also examine core processes and practice skills associated with interacting with children and parents, assessing family life and encouraging participation in decision making.

CORRECTIVE SERVICES

In corrective services units you will examine contemporary issues and practices in corrective services through empirical data and current corrective services practices. You will explore the function of prisons, prisoner rehabilitation, criminal behaviour trends, capital punishment, juvenile justice, the future of prisons, victims of crime, and restorative justice. You will develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills as well as strategies to prepare you for employment within corrective services.

DISABILITY SERVICES

Disability services units provide you with a solid foundation for understanding and evaluating the theories, principles, practices and policies underpinning services used by people with disabilities. The aim is to link the social justice, empowerment and human rights issues explored in the more generic units within the degree program to the lives of people with disabilities. You will have the opportunity to

(12)

explore and evaluate the range of service models relevant to the lifestyles of people with disabilities. The units focus on the quasi-legal and policy aspects of working in disability service organisations, and address some of the ethical dilemmas inherent in human service provision to people with a disability.

SERVICES TO YOUNG PEOPLE

These units help you understand and identify the various ways youth and adolescence are understood, constructed and portrayed in mainstream media, academic literature and human services. You will critically review the situation of a diverse range of young people and will investigate the knowledge, theory and skills base of a range of contemporary practice arenas, such as juvenile justice and adolescent child protection practice, youth homelessness, youth policy analysis and development.

Professional Membership

Graduates are entitled to apply for membership of the Australian Institute of Welfare and Community Workers.

Deferment

QUT allows current Year 12 school leavers to defer their undergraduate admission offer for one year, or for six months if offered mid-year admission, except in courses u s i n g s p e c i f i c a d m i s s i o n r e q u i r e m e n t s s u c h a s questionnaires, folios, auditions, prior study or work experience.

Working with Children Check

As required by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000), students must undergo a criminal history check and be issued with a Suitability Card (Blue Card) by the Commission. As soon as you enter your enrolment program for the course, you must submit your Blue Card application to the QUT Student Centre immediately. You must hold a Blue Card to undertake activities in any unit which involves contact with children, including the required field studies blocks.

Campus: Carseldine and Caboolture Course Outline

The Bachelor of Social Science allows you to develop a range of social science skills which will equip you to address social issues and problems.

You will complete 24 units of study in this course.

* You are REQUIRED to complete:

- One social science major (7 units) from Sociology

Politics and History

Geography and Environment Indigenous Perspectives and Issues Human Services and Social Policy

and

- Social science skills units (6 units). The choice includes interpersonal communication

social research conflict resolution team practice survey methods social policy processes intervention methods

* The remaining 11 units of study will consist of your choices from the following options:

- An additional social science major (7 units)

- A social science minor (4 units) from Gender and Sexuality

Peace and Conflict Resolution

- A foreign language (4-6 units) from

French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Mandarin

- A co-major, an approved university minor, or individual electives in another QUT course (up to 8 units)

- A work-based internship (2 units)

- An independent social science project (2 units)

Sociology Major

Sociology is an attempt to grapple with the issues and problems of a world experiencing change. You will study what makes us social beings and why both cooperation and conflict are recurring features of our social relationships. You will gain an understanding of the fundamental institutions of family, school, work and culture, and will be equipped to think intelligently and critically about them. You will acquire the skills of social analysis and policy development which are essential for a wide variety of professional employment.

Geography and Environment Major

Geography explains how and why natural environments, land use, settlement, economic activity, population and cultures vary from place to place, and how these elements interact to create distinctive and dynamic regional landscapes. The practical approach provides you with a sound basis, as a professional, for analysing human-environment linkages; population, social and cultural change; land use; settlement; and sustainable development.

Politics and History Major

The combination of politics and history provides a focus on the application of power in the contemporary world and also an understanding of how and why we have arrived at the social and political structures and processes that exist today. As a graduate with a politics and history background you will be equipped to enter occupations that require development and analysis of policy and administrative programs in both the public and private sectors.

Indigenous Perspectives and Issues Major

Indigenous perspectives and issues are central to the contemporary social sciences and to the creation of graduates who are skilled in the complexities of cross-cultural understanding and the acquisition of cross-cross-cultural sensitivity. You will gain insights into Australian Indigenous perspectives and issues from the disciplines of humanities and human services, creative industries, education and justice studies. You will also develop skills associated with research ethics and protocols as they relate to Indigenous cultures and communities.

Human Services and Social Policy Major

Understanding our complex society and identifying emerging social issues and trends are key roles for human service and social policy practitioners. Community service agencies and for-profit industries seek out graduates with vocational skills that enable them to stay abreast of rapid social change and emerging trends. As a social science

(19)

graduate you will be equipped to review, develop and administer social programs.

Gender and Sexuality Minor

Issues of difference and identity as they relate to the constitution of gender and sexuality are significant elements within social science investigations. This minor draws on relevant units from discipline areas such as humanities and human services, psychology, public health, justice studies and creative industries to enable you to analyse and challenge inherent presumptions about gendered/sexed bodies, as well as address the possibilities for alternative identity politics.

Peace and Conflict Resolution Minor

You will engage with important issues of contemporary global change and the way these may impact on diverse communities and individuals, conflicts that arise out of these situations, and approaches to resolving such conflicts. The units provide you with opportunities to pursue in-depth studies of human rights issues, identity issues and conflicts, and crisis intervention and resolution.

Minors

All the social science majors can also be taken as four-unit minors.

Note also that all QUT faculties offer agreed sets of units as 'university minors'.

First Year at Caboolture

By including the Caboolture option on your QTAC application, you have the opportunity to take the first year of the Bachelor of Social Science at QUT's Caboolture campus. After completing first year (or 96 credit points), you must then continue with the remainder of the course at the Carseldine campus.

It should be noted that credit/advanced standing will not be granted for Caboolture students - excluding START QUT studies. To receive credit, applicants must apply for the course offered at the Carseldine Campus.

Campus: Carseldine Course Structure

This course consists of 16 units each from the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Human Services. The arts course structure allows you maximum flexibility to mix and match study units in a diverse range of themes including international, Australian, contemporary, historical, environmental, ethics, social change and language studies. In human services, you will acquire a range of professional skills and will specialise in a practice field from child and family services, aged services, corrective services, disability services, or services to young people.

Refer to the Bachelor of Arts (HH01) and Bachelor of Human Services (HH02) entries for further details.

Professional Practice Placements

As part of the Human Services component, you will have the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills through two supervised, professional practice placements in human service organisations.

You will first explore the diversity of practice methods through the Introduction to Practice. You will undertake a total of 140 hours of volunteer placement/s in a human service agency.

Your theoretical and practical studies will culminate in a 36 credit point Advanced Professional Practice placement in your final year. This placement will generally reflect your specialised service context area. You will develop a learning plan in consultation with your agency supervisor and a university staff member. During this 400-hour supervised placement in a human services agency, you will further

develop your assessment and intervention skills and your own practice framework. It may be possible to undertake this 12 week placement with an overseas agency.

These professional practice placements provide many valuable opportunities for networking within the human services industry.
