International studies is the analysis, appreciation and study of the diversity of the global community. It examines the relationships of politics, society, culture, language, and history in a range of countries. Studying arts alongside international studies will give you essential skills, including critical and creative thinking, effective communication, and problem solving, all of which are required for high achievement in a range of global careers. The Bachelor of Arts - Bachelor of International Studies (Dean's Scholar) will teach you how to analyse national and global issues. You will learn about the forces shaping the modern world and the theories that underpin our understanding of the most important global issues.
If you are a high-achieving and motivated student, the Dean's Scholar option provides you with an enriched educational experience. Each Dean's Scholar has an academic mentor's member of academic staff assigned to guide you through your degree. Students receive an annual book allowance, benefit from their own designated study space in the Faculty and will produce a major self-directed research project as a capstone to their degree.
