Bachelor of Languages

This degree offers a flexible mix of prescribed study and elective courses.
The compulsory component comprises one major, supplemented by two courses in a cognate field, forming an “extended” major; and one minor in another language or in Linguistics.
The minor is a minimum requirement - you are free to use two of your elective choices to compile a second major if you wish.
All languages offer different streams catering for students who have studied the language to Year 12 level (or equivalent) but also for anyone wanting to start learning a language from scratch.
As a student of the Bachelor of Languages you will have the opportunity to spend at least one semester studying in a country where the language chosen for your major is spoken.
With partners in all the relevant countries, this opportunity will boost language proficiency and develop understanding of another culture.
Background speakers who wish to study their native language should consult the relevant language discipline for advice prior to application.
