University of New South Wales
Bachelor of Arts (Languages and Cultures)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationBy studying languages and cultures at UNSW, you’ll explore the importance of intercultural communications and the way it has become important in our daily life. The mastery of language skills, cross-cultural understanding and an ability to engage with people from other countries and cultures will enrich your global perspective and prepare you for an international career.
Studying a language or culture is essential for effectively communicating and interacting with people from diverse cultures. Learning a language goes beyond the linguistic skills you’ll gain by opening your mind to the historical and cultural background that forms different worldviews. In a globally connected world, appreciation of different cultures helps us to become global citizens who collaborate, promote peace and build more inclusive communities. These skills can open doors to international career opportunities and empower you to play an active role in shaping a cooperative, inclusive and better world for all.
