Sanskrit, the classical language of India, has long been renowned for its beauty, subtlety and complexity. It is the key to the civilisational treasures of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, and provides direct access to a vast repository of literary, scientific and philosophical wisdom.

In Sanskrit 4, students will strengthen their grammar skills and enjoy further readings from the classics of Sanskrit literature.This is a fast paced academic course at a University level.

Dive deeper into India’s classical language. Strengthen your grammar. Read and chant smoothly beyond beginners’ level. Enjoy classic Sanskrit literature, touching on the social and historical contexts of this language of ancient wisdom.

This subject was previously known as MHIX205 ANZACs: Australians at War The ANZAC Legend has long been at the core of Australian mythology. This subject explores the impact of armed conflict on Australian national life. As well as tracing the history of the major conflicts that have engaged Australians from before white colonisation to the War on Terror, the unit will explore how the experience of war has shaped national identity. Themes will include: the idea of ANZAC and the militarisation of Australian History; the &#39;Australian way of war&#39;; gender, race and ethnicity; relationships with allies and enemies; the homefront; loss, disability and rehabilitation; and other legacies of war and commemoration. A range of sources will be used to examine these themes. An innovative feature of the subject will be an assessment structure in which students develop a history project around the influence or impact of war in their local communities. This project will link the personal and local to the broader themes explored in the unit encouraging independent and creative thinking as well as empathetic exploration of historical actors and communities.

Evaluate the ANZAC legend's place in Australian life and mythology. Revisit some of Australia's armed conflicts before and after the Battle for Gallipoli. Deconstruct the digger myth. Address conscription, nationalism and the legacy of war.
