Bachelor of International Studies

Adaptive global leaders and creative problem-solvers are some of the most sought-after graduates of the next decade. From government and business to public health and tech, employers are seeking graduates with the global insight and foresight necessary to solve complex problems and connect across borders. In the Bachelor of International Studies students work with industry leaders, research experts, and local and global communities to co-create the future of societies and workplaces. The program blends humanities expertise with cross-discipline skills and tools, including business and STEMM, and hands-on problem solving opportunities. Students will analyse global systems, anticipate future challenges, learn to lead across contexts, and develop ethical and creative approaches to thriving within the technology-driven change we face. Whether helping build international partnerships, guiding digital transformations, supporting corporate social responsibility, or facilitating clear communication between governments and communities, this degree equips graduates to lead through change. At the end of the degree, students will have a portfolio of real-world accomplishments, a network that spans across sectors and borders, and the adaptive mindset employers rank as the top skill for the future. If you want to drive innovation and turn complexity into opportunity, this is your launchpad. This is a Macquarie University (Sydney) course.
