The Bachelor of Languages prepares students for the increasingly multilingual and international life of the 21st century. Students are taken on a language learning journey which is designed to engage them with the structural, grammatical and idiomatic components of the languages. This is further contextualised using cultural, social and historical concepts, issues and topics. On the successful completion of the program, students graduate with communicative proficiency and confidence in one or more languages from a wide range on offer. Other humanities, arts and social sciences studies may be included in the degree.

Exciting opportunities exist for students to immerse themselves in their chosen language and culture through study abroad for a semester or year. Students may also complete this degree in conjunction with a Graduate Diploma in Language Studies or Graduate Diploma in Asia-Pacific Studies, where students take the equivalent of one year of study at an overseas university.

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

Learning outcomes

Successful completion of the Bachelor of Languages enables students to:

• communicate proficiently and confidently in at least one language
• identify the structure and uses of languages studied
• recognise and contrast the societies and cultures of the languages chosen, and their socio-historical context
• construct a global schema of the connections between the languages studied and their geographical, social and cultural origins
• recognise the importance and value of  intercultural communication

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.
