Why study the Bachelor of Arts?

With a Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA) you gain an internationally recognised degree, leading to diverse career opportunities. Through your study you will develop sector-specific analytical abilities and research experience, well-honed written and verbal communication skills, and a broad perspective on the world and its various cultures.

Major: International Languages and Cultures

International Languages and Cultures prepares you with the language skills and cultural understanding that employers are looking for in an increasingly globalised world. We offer five area Specialisations – Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. 
 

Why study International Languages and Cultures?

By taking papers in our international Languages and Cultures (INTLC) programme, you will be equipping yourself with the language skills and cultural knowledge needed for success in a multicultural work environment. You will significantly increase your career marketability, opening doors to exciting domestic and overseas job opportunities, and even enhancing adventurous overseas travel.

We offer a range of language and culture papers in key global language areas - Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. You can choose a language area Specialisation within the INTLC major or complete your language and culture studies as a minor. Both options can be combined with other subjects, such as business, management, law or science, to further enhance your preparation for the workforce. They work particularly well when taken as part of Waikato’s Global Studies undergraduate degree, which is designed to foster in students the necessary skills to work within an increasingly globalised environment.
