This degree offers students a broad perspective on major issues in international and global studies, drawing on a range of disciplinary perspectives, including politics, economics, anthropology, sociology and cultural and linguistic studies. In addition, students will concentrate on in-depth study through majors in a variety of fields including anthropology, sociology, government and international relations, political economy and area studies.

Students with a keen interest in the wider world will find this course of interest. The increasing interconnectedness of the world that has been brought about through travel and communication technology is making the ability to understand the world in global terms ever more important for an informed citizen – and a major asset in a number of professional fields. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests within the confines of the degree, particularly through learning a second language.

Graduate attributes will include an awareness of major issues in world society, politics, and economy. Graduates will be equipped to operate effectively as members of the world community with skills in analysis, evaluation and communication. They will compete successfully in the global marketplace in advisory, management, and research positions in government, non-government, and international agencies in both the private and public sector in Australia and beyond. This program is available as a combined degree with the Bachelor of Laws.* The combined degree takes five years of full-time study to complete.
