Languages

The Bachelor of Arts (Languages) degree

In a multicultural Australia which is carefully reviewing its relation to Asia and the rest of the world, languages have come to play an increasingly important role in everyday communication and in defining Australia. Through the Bachelor of Arts (Languages) the university recognises the importance for people who are to function in a global, multicultural setting in the twenty-first century of having a deep knowledge of languages, both as systems and in their socio-cultural contexts.

The BA (Languages), which was offered for the first time in 1996, is designed for students who wish to develop skills and experience in second language acquisition and communication that can also be utilised in subsequently learning/studying other languages and in careers requiring highly developed language skills in Australia and overseas.
