European Studies
Europe is the focus for this interdisciplinary major, combining the chance to study a European language and subjects drawn from different disciplines. The major brings together expertise in various disciplines and by drawing together a combined knowledge of a specific geo-political and economic area, it gives students the ability to understand and interpret a region of great significance to Australia.
Major Study
A major in European Studies will consist of a minimum of 52 credit points. It includes EURO 320: Contemporary Identities in Europe, two consecutive units of a European language and 32 credit points from one of the two specialisations listed below, Europe in the World or Contemporary European Cultures and Thought. Students must include 24 credit points at 300-level.
Minor Study
A minor in European Studies will consist of two sequential language subjects and two subjects from those offered for the major. Students may not cross-count any subjects from the minor in any other minor or major study.
