International studies - Faculty of Arts

Offered by the School of Historical Studies

International studies is a cross-disciplinary* major which begins by examining the history of the 20th century before moving on to study the issues facing the world as it moves into the 21st century. International studies brings to life the issues and events that have shaped, and continue to shape, our world. As the world globalises and nations and economies become more integrated, it is important to understand our world and the ideas and beliefs of our neighbours and trading partners. In order to compete in the international marketplace of products, ideas and knowledge, we need to understand and respect the cultures and beliefs of others.

International studies is administered by the School of Historical Studies, but units are taught by a number of schools in the Faculty of Arts.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in international studies, refer to the `Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

* Administration of this interdisciplinary program resides in the School of Historical Studies.
