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 a language and culture in their second and third year and spend their fourth year of study at a university overseas.

Students are required to complete all appropriate subjects in their combined degree, including four consecutive semesters of study of Language and Culture before proceeding to In-country Study.

UTS: International Studies makes arrangements for students to spend two semesters of In-country Study at an institution of higher education in the country of their major. The In-country Study is the key component of the International Studies program. It provides a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the language and culture of another country through a learning program at a host university, through involvement in the life of the local community and through project work which is supervised by UTS: International Studies. Each student's individual study program depends on their level of language competence and the subjects and other learning experiences that are available at the host university.

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.

The typical program shown below is for a full-time student who has chosen the Germany major as their International Studies major. Other countries may be chosen from the list of majors in CBK90005; the program has the same structure but with subjects specific to the chosen country major.
