Bachelor of Languages

Townsville

The Bachelor of Languages consists of a normal Bachelor of Arts structure with a study-abroad year (24 units) interposed between the normal level 2 and level 3. In the first instance, students enrol in the BA degree and, after completing level 1, apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Languages.

Students follow the normal sequence of subjects leading to a language-based BA degree but spend at least two semesters in an approved immersion program in a country where the language of study is spoken.

Students returning from the study-abroad year continue with language-related study within the

School’s advanced courses. To obtain the degree at Honours level, students returning to Australia are required to enrol in an appropriate level 4 Honours program.
