Course maps
Our course maps and handbooks guide you on how to fulfil your course requirements in order to graduate with an Art, Design and Architecture degree.
Handbooks are the official statement of courses and units available for study at Monash University. Consult the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture Handbook to complete your degree in order, so as to be eligible for course completion and graduation. Remember to refer back to your course handbook regularly to track the progression of your degree, ensuring that you read the handbook edition from the year you started your course.
You will also have to check the course map relevant to the year and semester that you started your degree. Course maps outline the recommended progression for your degree.
All current course maps are now located via the Course maps webpage on the Monash University Handbook. You can also find previous course maps below.
You should follow the course map relevant to the year and semester that you commenced studying. In future years, any necessary unit changes relevant to this year of commencement will be published on the MADA Current Students webpage.
Each course map is a framework that shows core units, specialisations and elective units.
Note: Some course maps include spaces for 'Elective - Level 2/3 units'. This means a unit from second-year or third-year level (unit codes that start with 2 or 3). Have a look at our Electives and choose from a wide range of options.
If you did not commence your studies in Semester 1, you can refer to the course maps page as well as consult the course maps below to guide your course completion.
