The typical degree program in Australia take three years instead of our four, and the course number Monash University uses indicates during which year a student usually enrolls in the course:

1000-1999 level courses for year one (these courses often are best to look at for meeting Gen-Ed requirements)
2000-2999 level courses for year two
3000-3999 for year three
4000-4999 level courses are reserved for Monash Honors students, which you will often be able to enroll in as long as you meet the prerequisites. If you would like to enroll in a course with prerequisites, Monash faculty must review your UArizona transcripts.
- To pre-screen yourself, read the course description of the class you are interested in thoroughly and ask yourself if you have familiarity or experience in the topics that will be covered. Next, look at the prerequisite class(es) listed for the course and compare these with your own transcripts to see if you have taken courses that closely match them. If so, you have good cause to be confident you will be allowed to enroll in the course.

Reflections on Humanity: Truth, Freedom, and Power

Course Description:

This unit seeks to illuminate the current crisis of humanity by looking at the work of three key figures in recent political theory - Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. Each of these theorists has interrogated the relationship between politics and barbarism at the most profound level and attempted to salvage a concept of humanity from the catastrophes of the twentieth century. Pivoting around themes of truth, freedom and power, their work draws us back to fundamental questions about the purposes and possibilities of politics as a human endeavour. Engaging with them will help to shed light on what might be hoped for human beings, individually and collectively, in the future.

The Politics of Identity

Course Description:

In the 21st century our identities, and our relationships to others, are constructed out of a multitude of interactions - some based in 'real' world institutions such as work and school, others are online and continued at a distant.
