Study Languages, Culture and Tourism

Yes, it is worth it to study a language!  The ability to speak another language will open huge career opportunities for you. You’ll stand out compared to other job applicants and you’ll have an appreciation and understanding for other cultures. 

You’ll travel to other countries like a local, rather than a tourist and could work locally or internationally as an interpreter, foreign correspondent, foreign language intelligence analyst or international trade officer.

The Bachelor of Languages and the Bachelor of Arts (majoring in a Language) are 3 years of full-time study, with the option to add an extra Honours year upon completion of the Bachelor degree.
