In this programme three of your courses will be offered together in one section and focus on a common theme or issue. Each section of the Aquinas programme is limited in enrolment to a maximum of 36 students, which results in a close-knit learning community. The Aquinas Programme offers an in-depth exploration of a particular theme, and a broader understanding of the issues central to humanity than you might otherwise achieve. It introduces you to, and provides degree credit for, each of the three disciplines associated with your section. Best of all, it generates an earlier understanding of the interaction and connections among academic disciplines as well as an appreciation of the benefits derived from viewing issues from as many perspectives as possible.
Students declare interest in the Aquinas programme at the time of registration.
A separate monograph on this programme is available from the Admissions Office. We believe that arts graduates have a critical role to play in the workforce. These positions are paid, supervised by the employer and the University, and are a mini-mum of 13 weeks in duration. Prior to the work placements, you will take orientation and professional development courses to ensure that your work terms are as productive as possible from your perspective as well as from your employer's and the University's. Co-op arts students complete the integration of their academic studies and their professional work experience in the fourth year with a capstone seminar in experiential learning.
