Program of study notes

This Program of Study serves as a suggested study plan. When core topics are offered in both halves of the year, students may enrol in these topics in either half of the year as long as requisites are met.
Students will be expected to declare their majors sequence at the completion of 36 units.
The BA Examination Board may approve substitute topics if a student is unable to undertake particular core topics while studying overseas on an approved program.
University accredited languages, taken through cross-institutional studies, including those offered by the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia, are also available as majors in the Flinders Bachelor of Arts - Enhanced Program for High Achievers.
Students seeking an accredited program in Psychology should refer to Psychology (Extended Major). Students completing the extended major are eligible to apply for an Honours program in Psychology. Provided there are suitable topics available, a student may complete a Psychology (Extended Major) of 49.5 units according to the requirements and reduce the value of Elective topics by 13.5 units.
Students can complete a minor sequence in Sciences by choosing topics from the generic Sciences Minor as long as requisites are met. However, they are recommended to select one of five specific Sciences Minors - Biology/ Environment/ Environmental Science (Hydrology and Water Resources)/ Environmental Science (Coastal and Marine Studies)/ Geography provided to assist students with topic choice.
