Introduction
This degree offers students an opportunity to undertake a professional qualification in Journalism while gaining intercultural skills and knowledge. Graduates will be well positioned to work as members of the diplomatic corps and foreign correspondents.
The International Studies degree investigates the interplay of cultural, political and economic forces in regional and global arenas and allows students to develop an understanding of intercultural communication. This is enhanced by foreign language study and a highly recommended international exchange semester.
