A course of four hours per week in lectures and group discussion.

SYLLABUS
The primary objective of the course is to investigate, first, the historian's tasks and methods, and, secondly, the problem and history of historical inter- pretation.

This statement also applies to a secondary objective of the course: viz. to consider the relationship of history to the social sciences.

MUSIC
Students wishing to take music as a major study must furnish evidence of practical musical competence to at least Leaving, but preferably Higher School Certificate level. For students wishing to take music as a minor study within the Faculty of Creative Arts, no prerequisite is necessary. A minor study in music is not intended to lead to music as a teaching method.
Two subjects, Music and Practical Music are available to students. The subject Practical Music may only be taken in conjunction with, or in addi- tion to Music A, B, or C, and by students who meet the prerequisite require- ments for taking music as a major study.
Students taking Music A, B, or C without the subject, Practical Music are required to take instruction on an instrument, to be approved by the Music Department advisor. Credit is given for all such work undertaken.
Practical Music A will proceed in subsequent years to Practical Music B and C. A tagged studentship in music means that a student will take Practical Music A and Music A in the first year of the course.

—
