The Bachelor of European Studies is designed for students interested in the social, political and cultural structure of contemporary Europe. This degree focuses on the foundations of modern Europe, bearing in mind its long history and how this has shaped contemporary European societies. It also considers the innovative aspects of recent developments, particularly the possibilities for cooperation and unity as well as the tensions between diverse traditions. Students will study a European language and travel to Europe for a semester of ‘in-country’ study at a partner institution in Europe.

By using elective courses, students may extend the language minor to a major. 

Learning outcomes

Successful completion of this program enables students to:

  • differentiate social, political and cultural structures of contemporary Europe;
  • define the historical foundations of modern Europe;
  • evaluate recent developments in European cooperation and unity and contrast these to tensions in traditions and
  • communicate in a European language (graduates’ proficiency will vary on the level of language completion).

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
