This course provides students with the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in the area of international studies while completing a bachelors degree or double degree in other fields.

Students are able to explore issues such as globalisation, poverty and justice, consumerism, disasters, religion, travel, international development, global conflict and refugees through interdisciplinary programs as a way of coming to understand the issues and events that have shaped, and continue to shape, the world.

an understanding of the world view of the field of study
the capacity for quantitative and qualitative analysis, critique and creative thinking in the discipline

the skills of written and oral presentation, argument and analysis, including other practical skills such as computer skills, appropriate to the academic discipline.
