Bachelor of International Studies
University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of International Studies at the University of Queensland combines language study with international politics, culture and economics, and includes a compulsory overseas exchange semester at one of UQ's partner institutions. Students choose from Queensland's largest selection of language majors, building fluency alongside regional and global knowledge, and the exchange semester lets students immerse themselves in that language while living and studying abroad. Core courses include culture and world politics, communicating across cultures, introduction to international inequality and development, and global security. The program is explicitly built to prepare graduates to work across cultures and languages, which UQ frames as a practical asset employers actively look for, not just an academic exercise. Typical graduate roles include diplomatic corps official, foreign policy adviser, international aid worker, development program coordinator and intelligence analyst.
