European Studies
European history, literature and language subjects (French, Italian or Spanish), contribute to this interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary major. This allows students to study a European language (French, Italian or Spanish) at either beginner/near beginner, or post-HSC level, as well as subjects dealing with European civilisation, 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 combined knowledge of a specific geo-political and economic area of great significance to Australia, and equipping students with the linguistic, cultural and intellectual skills required to understand and interpret European affairs.
Major Study
A major in European Studies will consist of a minimum of 52 credit points, including a minimum of 28 credit points chosen from Schedules 1, 2, or 3 and the remainder from Schedule 4. Students must include 24 credit points at 300-level.
Students wishing to study French should take the subjects listed in Schedule 1 below. Students wishing to study Italian should take the subjects listed in Schedule 2 below. Students wishing to study Spanish should take the subjects listed in Schedule 3 below.
Minor Study
A minor in European Studies will consist of two sequential language subjects from Schedule 1,2, or 3, together with EURO220. Students may not cross-count any subjects from the minor in any other minor or major study.
