C10105v3 Bachelor of Arts in Communication (Writing and Cultural Studies) and in International Studies

Overview

Writers tell their own stories and, in doing so, they tell the stories of the societies they live in. This course combines a professional degree with immersion in another language and culture, enhancing professional training and career options. This combined degree is designed to broaden students' awareness of writing and the work of the writer in relation to different languages and cultures.

Writing at UTS is studied as a craft undertaken in close engagement with, and responsiveness to, the writer's society. Australia is uniquely positioned to play a significant role in the 21st century. Its writers will be a vital part of understanding and defining this role and they will be better equipped for this task with an understanding of their own and other contemporary cultures as they go about their work.
