Bachelor of International Studies *
The Bachelor of International Studies (BIS) is unique among the Faculty of Arts degree offerings and distinctive compared to other similar degrees across Australia. This three-year degree prepares graduates well for excellent employment possibilities in international businesses and organisations, all of which value the kind of international perspective that a BIS provides.
BIS graduates can also be found in policy making and implementation in non-government organisations or the public sector—or taking our new Masters degree in international studies, or a PhD. With BIS the possibilities are endless.
The BIS has four main components:
- A core of focused international studies subjects drawn from a variety of perspectives.
- A range of thematic subject streams including world literatures, global labour studies, screen studies, postcolonial studies, international relations, conflict and society.
- A language minor in Spanish, Japanese, French, Italian, Mandarin or Indonesian
- A semester of study abroad, with alternative options for those who may have limited opportunity to travel overseas including
- study tours,
- internships with international companies
- internships with local NGOs that work with migrants or have other international roles,
- short term language study programs at overseas universities
