Bachelor of Languages

Townsville, Cairns

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.

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 3 or 4 Honours program.
