ARTS 3003 - Advanced Arts: Theory and Method

This course is designed to assist BA (Advanced) students in their study of a range of humanities and social sciences theories and methods. Students who wish to complete research work in the Arts may frequently encounter problems when they move from summarising theories to applying them in practice. Therefore, this course involves intensive scrutiny of a representative range of theories commonly encountered across the subject areas encompassed by this degree program. These theories are then explored through the examination of research work that illustrates active uses of these ideas to solve specific research problems. Students complete assignments in seminar classes and through written work that enables them to apply selected theoretical work to problems that they have identified independently.
