Overview

Global challenges are reshaping communities, societies and the way countries interact. Understanding these challenges requires the ability to examine different perspectives, question assumptions and recognise how political, social, cultural, historical and economic forces influence the world.

In the Bachelor of Arts - Bachelor of International Studies, you complete the requirements of both courses as separate areas of study. You select at least one major from the Bachelor of Arts plus at least one major from the Bachelor of International Studies.

The Bachelor of Arts allows you to examine people, cultures, ideas and societies. You investigate complex issues, consider diverse perspectives and build valuable skills in research, critical thinking, communication and problem-solving.

In the Bachelor of International Studies, you explore how political, social, cultural and economic forces intersect at local, national or international levels. You examine nations, power and global connections while developing skills in analysis, problem-solving, cross-cultural understanding and communication.

This double degree allows you to complete two qualifications in less time and at a lower overall cost than studying each course separately. You graduate with distinct knowledge from each qualification plus adaptable skills that can be applied across a wide range of industries and globally connected professional settings.

See the for more information.

Your Bachelor of Arts studies begin from Country, exploring how people, communities and places are connected at local, national and global levels. Depending on your chosen major, you may examine historical, political, social, cultural, legal, philosophical, Indigenous or environmental perspectives while building skills in critical thinking, research and communication.

In the Bachelor of International Studies, you examine how global systems operate and how states, international organisations and other actors respond to contemporary challenges. Through simulations, negotiation exercises and applied learning, you develop communication, problem-solving and intercultural skills. You also complete a compulsory minor focused on intercultural understanding, with opportunities to study abroad.

By completing both courses, you graduate with the distinct knowledge and capabilities developed through each qualification. You can draw on broad disciplinary knowledge from Arts alongside an understanding of international systems, global challenges and cross-cultural contexts.
