O lawd, is dat some unrealistic planning?

Hm.

As far as I know, as long as you have a degree in SOMETHING you can teach English in Japan, even if, like this Bachelor of Arts I'm interested in, said degree only takes a year to complete. For someone as non-commital as myself, I'd like very much for that to be true.

Even if the course is in... Gladstone. *stomach churns*

Le sigh. 

It's been four years since I've gone through the process of browsing for courses, and combined with the fact that I've only ever attained a level of "Diploma", I barely understand half of the above page >.<

"Majors: (no less than six courses in one discipline) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies; Australian history; Australian studies; communication practice; cultural studies; environmental geography; environmental studies; film studies; human geography; international history; Japanese language and culture; journalism; liberal studies; literary and cultural studies; literary studies; media studies; professional and creative writing; public relations; sociology; tourism; and welfare studies."

Right, so I bolded six majors I'd be interested in. That's easy enough. Wait, majors=dicipline, right? 

And that's thirty-six courses all up... that sounds like an awful lot to cram into one year, or maybe I just never paid attention to how Unis work ^^;

"Specialisations: Students may choose two plans (or majors - no less than 12 courses) from a discipline area, and graduate with a specialisation (or double major) that will be noted on their testamur - eg Bachelor of Arts (History). Specialisations include: cultural studies; environmental studies; film studies; geography; history; journalism; literary studies; media studies; new media studies; professional studies (eg psychology, digital innovation, information technology, marketing); public relations; psychology; sociology; and tourism."

... Brain no worky...

But yeah, it's just a thought. I've been bumming around *TAC sites and seeing what's available for those who just wanna get their course over and done with.

Too bad I'm so much of a ditz -.-

OK. Firstly, Gladstone only gives you the first year. You still need to do two more years elsewhere, to complete the degree. I think that's what the first point under the table means.

Six courses means six subjects within that major. You need to pick two majors and do six subjects in each, I believe. And with arts you can do other random stuff too.

Curse you, fine print! *shakes fist*

Thanks for pointing that out ^^;

No probs. Good luck! :) You know you could always study part-time if you want to do other stuff too.
