Bachelor of Arts (Languages)

Four years full-time (pass or honours)
Eight years part-time

Our Bachelor of Arts (Languages) degree is designed for talented students who wish to link humanities and social sciences studies with the core study of one or more foreign languages.

Some of our students have begun their language studies in secondary school or elsewhere, whilst others take up a new language at beginners’ level within our language departments – both options are possible within this degree.

The four year degree allows you to specialise in your primary language as well as complete a second major in another language. Alternatively, you can choose your second major from other, non-language subject areas.

In addition, our degree has a compulsory, subsidised in-country study component that enables you to spend one or two semesters studying at a designated university in the country of your primary language. Any approved studies that you have successfully completed overseas are credited to your University of Sydney degree. In-country study enables you to enhance your linguistic fluency and cultural knowledge. It can also prepare you for further studies overseas.
