Rather than institutions and governments, we put ordinary peoples experiences at the centre of our inquiry. The focus of the international studies major is how local communities respond to, embrace and challenge the forces of globalisation that are transforming our world. The international studies major focuses on four key themes within globalisation: health and disease, environment and sustainability, conflict and disaster, and commerce and consumption. In progressing through the major, students at each step will deepen their knowledge of these global challenges, and apply this knowledge to devise policy responses and solutions. The core units in the major emphasize transferable workplace skills such as team work, research-based analysis and high-level communication, and embed Work-Integrated Learning through assessment tasks which are based on real-world industry needs and practices. Another key feature of the international studies major is its interdisciplinarity. International studies provides a thematically coherent, interdisciplinary platform for you to study globalisation in depth. From the first-year onwards, our students are trained to think critically across disciplinary boundaries, working with historians, philosophers, sociologists, geographers, anthropologists and bioethicists. The result is a unique blend of analytical skills that study in one discipline alone cannot offer, and that is an essential quality for engaged global citizens.
