HISOC1002 Local History
This course provides an introduction to community, public and local history. Key concepts, approaches and different sources are explored. Students will evaluate several varieties of local and community history in their region and contrast these with elsewhere. Different historical sources ranging from family memory, to artifacts, to documentary sources are explored in terms of their historical significance. Students will also critically evaluate this range of different sources and apply their knowledge through an industry placement with a stakeholder organization. Students will have the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills acquired during this unit to research a locality or community of their choice.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
