麥考瑞大學

The world is getting smaller. Borders are blurring. Countries are becoming more interdependent. Foreign policy is affecting individuals more now than at any other time in history. We are truly a global community of citizens, and so the ability to understand and evaluate world issues across the social, cultural, political and economic spectrum is a highly valued skill.

This course combines the study of cultures and global society with the opportunity to learn a foreign language and study overseas to equip you with the skills to understand, appreciate and assimilate into the cultures of a variety of countries across Asia, the Americas and Europe.

KEY FEATURES

A session of exchange at a university overseas in your third year provides authentic intercultural experiences and opportunities to apply your target language skills.

You'll have the opportunity to undertake a focused internship linked to the language and culture you're studying, either nationally or internationally.

An unmatched range of languages and an interdisciplinary approach allow you to integrate aspects of linguistics and cross-cultural communication into your study.

SUITABLE FOR

Do you want to immerse yourself in a foreign culture and are interested in languages? The Bachelor of International Studies will broaden your horizons and prepare you for a career with an international outlook.
