Undergraduate Notices
1. Monash-Warwick Alliance 2013 Student Led Activity Fund
There are two submission dates for applications in 2013:
- 15 May 2013
- 31 October 2013
Monash University and the University of Warwick have formed a strategic alliance that aims to develop new models of education and research collaboration. In line with this aim, the Universities are seeking to build opportunities for their students to gain experience leading initiatives that connect the two universities via a new Student-led Activity Scheme.
The aims of the scheme are to support the integration of the student bodies of both universities, to develop students as ‘global citizens’ through working as part of international teams, to increase both the impact and profile of existing student-led activities at both universities and to transfer knowledge and innovation in student activities across our campuses.
Examples of events which will be considered for joint support include:
- Academic-related events (e.g. summits, student conferences);
- Cultural and intercultural activities, including sporting events;
- Skills development events.
Staged projects that could be handed over to new leadership after the first year would be of interest. Application form.
2. New Semester 2 Undergraduate Unit
A new undergraduate unit will be introduced next semester which may be of interest to some law students. The unit is called “Introduction to Transitional Justice”. It is a cross between international criminal law, international human rights and international relations. It will analyse the way that societies, ranging from Rwanda to South Africa to Egypt, recover from a legacy of human rights abuse. Discussion will include a consideration of prosecutions, truth commissions, reparations programs as well as mechanisms of institutional reform and their relevance to various case studies.
For more information please see the unit page in the handbook.
