C10196v3 Bachelor of Education in Adult Education Bachelor of Arts in International Studies

This degree combines the current Bachelor of Education in Adult Education (C10194) program with the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies program. It provides students with an Adult Education degree with additional international experience and exposure, as well as the opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of a language and culture other than English.

The design of the Education component of the course enables students to study the core theoretical subjects that underpin the field of adult education, while at the same time providing them with the specialist knowledge of the various fields of practice. The electives also provide an opportunity for individual participants to pursue particular areas of interest within the diverse field of adult education.

Admission to the combined degree is on merit according to the admissions policy for the Bachelor of Education in Adult Education (C10194). There is a range of entry levels to the various Language and Culture programs. Students are admitted to the International Studies program with no guarantee of entry to a specific major, although every effort is made to meet students' preferences.

The Bachelor of Education in Adult Education (C10194) component comprises 48 credit points of core subjects, up to 48 credit points of specialist subjects for the selected major, and 48 credit points or more of elective subjects.

The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies requires undergraduates to study a major – a region or country – over a minimum of three years. Students study language and culture in the second and third year.

The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies is not offered as a separate degree, but is completed only in combination with the professional degree program.

An example program is given for a student undertaking the course full time with the Germany major as the International Studies major and Language, Literacy and Numeracy as the Adult Education major. Other countries may be chosen from the list of majors in CBK90005; the program would have the same structure but with subjects specific to the chosen country major.
