Develop the skills and expertise to understand the complex inter-connections of globalisation and work within the international community. The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (International and Global Studies) uniquely positions you to explore some of the world’s most pressing problems while preparing for a career with an international focus: in business, diplomacy, policy development, and for advocacy in a global civil society. The core major, Global Studies, will teach you how to relate local and international trends, while the combination of your chosen specialisation and language training will provide you with the specific regional knowledge and linguistic competence to work in organisations that operate across cultural and linguistic boundaries. You’ll cross these international boundaries during the course with an opportunity to study abroad at one of our leading partner universities, exercising your language skills and gaining a first-hand, cultural experience before graduation. Throughout the course, you will investigate the rapid growth of wealth in some parts of the world in relation to the impoverishment of others; consider the impacts of unprecedented large-scale worker, migrant, and refugee mobility; understand the rise and increasingly prominent role of global civil society (NGOs); as well as the challenges and opportunities of online information. You will also have the opportunity to undertake an authentic, complex problem-based project, developed in tandem with our industry partners, and work within a bespoke, interdisciplinary team. Career Pathways Our graduates can be found in a broad range of careers and roles, including: Community development program manager Diplomat Foreign aid worker Foreign correspondent Human rights advocate International business consultant Policy adviser Trade negotiator Future study Eligible candidates may proceed to an honours year or apply for admission to a rich postgraduate program in the humanities and social sciences, comprising advanced learning and professional courses.
