Sub-majors, electives and non-award studies

Students at UTS can increase their international and intercultural skills by enrolling in a Language and Culture program and Contemporary Society subjects. Students in any degree offered at UTS may be able to do these as electives or a sub-major, provided this is approved by their faculty.

At UTS students can study Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese or Spanish. It is possible to study other languages through arrangements UTS has made with other universities in Sydney.

Sub-majors are available by combining three International Studies subjects. Three Contemporary Society subjects form an International Studies sub-major (SMJ09034). A Contemporary Society subject and two relevant consecutive Language and Culture subjects form a Specialist Country Studies sub-major (SMJ09036). Three consecutive Language and Culture subjects form a Language Other than English (LOTE) Studies sub-major (SMJ09035).

Language and Culture subjects and Contemporary Society subjects may be taken as non-award studies.

Further information on these subjects can be found in the Study Package Directory and the Subject lists and descriptions section.
