International studies electives

The Institute for International Studies at UTS offers electives in language studies and in the study of contemporary societies in parts of the non-English-speaking world. All subjects are taught over one semester and have a value of eight credit points.

Language studies

All students wishing to take language studies as a credited part of their degree are required to enrol through the Institute for International Studies, whether the language studies are undertaken at UTS or elsewhere. The Institute teaches some language programs at UTS, has made arrangements with other universities for some languages to be taught to UTS students, and can make special arrangements for individual students to attend specific language programs where academic needs demand. The individual student's level of language proficiency before entry to the UTS program decides his or her level of language study. There is a range of entry levels to the various programs available. Most are available at beginner and post-HSC levels, and some at more advanced levels.

The Institute offers language programs in Chinese, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Malaysian, Russian, Spanish and Thai. The Institute also offers a Heritage major that permits students with previous exposure to a language to continue their study in the languages of countries such as Croatia, Greece, Hong Kong, Korea, Poland, Russia, Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam. The Institute can arrange for the teaching of other language programs, depending on availability and demand.

Contemporary society

The Institute also offers a series of subjects that provide an introduction to the contemporary societies, politics, economics and cultures of the countries of East and South-East Asia, Latin America and Europe.

Introductory subjects are offered on the contemporary societies of China, Japan, Latin America, South-East Asia and Europe. There are no prerequisites for any of the Contemporary Society subjects. All subjects are taught in English and are available, with the permission of their faculties, to all UTS students.
