Bachelor of Languages

This course is aimed at highly motivated students who wish to learn one or more languages (Chinese [Mandarin], French, German, Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, Spanish) and become well acquainted and familiar with their culture(s). Their skills and knowledge will be further developed and enriched by spending two trimesters studying university courses in the country of their chosen language(s). This broadens graduates' career options and gives them a competitive advantage in today's increasingly multicultural and international workplace environments.

Currently, agreements or bilateral exchange agreements exist with specific universities in China (Xi'an), France (Angers, Saint-Etienne) and French-speaking Canada (Quebec City), Germany (Oldenburg, Trier) and Austria (Graz, Klagenfurt), Indonesia (Gajah Mada, Muhammadiyah), Italy (Macerata), Spain (Jaen, Alicante) and Japan (Kagoshima, Aichi-ken, Tokyo, Kanazawa). Such agreements mean that tuition fees are waived, that help is given with finding accommodation and that an element of pastoral care is provided. Some financial assistance is available in connection with study at certain of these universities.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. demonstrate at a high-level of competence oral/aural and writing/reading skills in one or more language disciplines not including English;
2. critically analyse, comment upon and interpret a variety of target language usages of varying degrees of complexity;
3. research, plan, design and present clear, coherent and independent expositions in a variety of forms across a range of subjects; and
4. demonstrate general knowledge of specific inter-cultural and cross-cultural issues, practices and ethical values.
