Bachelor of Arts (European Studies)

European history, literature and language subjects (French, Italian or Spanish) contribute to this interdisciplinary major. European Studies is an inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary major, which allows students to study a European language (French, Italian or Spanish) at either beginners/near beginners or post-HSC level, and subjects dealing with European civilization, unities and minorities. The core subjects of the major are offered by the Modern Languages, History and Politics programs; other subjects relevant to Europe which complement the European Studies major are offered by the Science, Technology and Society, Philosophy and English Literatures programs.

The major in European Studies brings together expertise existing in various disciplines, drawing together their combined knowledge of a specific geo-political and economic area of great significance to Australia, and to equip students with the linguistic, cultural and intellectual skills required to understand and interpret European affairs.

A major in European Studies will consist of a minimum of 52 credit points, including a minimum of 28 cp chosen from Schedules 1, 2 or 3 and the remainder from Schedule 4. Students must include 24 cp at 300-level.
