What will I learn?
This highly relevant double degree is your stepping stone to a global career in the field of creative and cultural arts. Co-located with the nationally significant Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), you’ll work with some of Australia’s most successful artists, art theorists and cultural commentators. With our Bachelor of Arts you can choose from 40 different major and minor areas of study, including languages, social studies, communications, politics, human rights, and international relations to develop an informed, critical awareness of the fields youre most passionate about. This course leads to two separate degrees. Depending upon your specialisation, you will be awarded one of:Bachelor of Art History and Curating, or Bachelor of Fine Art and Bachelor of Arts. You will gain all the benefits of each degree course and be fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in your chosen work. If you choose the Art History and Curating specialisation, you’ll develop your understanding and appreciation of art including its origins and significance. You’ll gain hands-on experience developing an exhibition concept and internship opportunities will develop your curating skills in ‘real-life’ situations.Through Monash’s ground-breaking and multidisciplinary major in European Languages you will become a proficient or advanced speaker of one or more European languages, and a citizen of the world, able to explore and move between cultures and societies across Europe, Latin America and beyond. You will be able to specialise in one or more of French, German, Italian, Spanish and Latin American Studies. The language core component of the major is available from introductory (absolute beginner), intermediate or proficient level. Studying European Languages in a global context with us will develop a deeper understanding of the interconnections between different European languages and cultures, the global impact of Europe over time, and how European and other cultures and societies across the globe have challenged and deeply influenced each other. Through the study of language, literature, history, film, arts, and popular culture you will be exposed to some of the most influential ideas that have shaped our world, but also to the new ideas that are challenging the status quo and imagining a new, sustainable and just world. You will be able to study in-country and immerse yourself in the language. We offer opportunities for study tours, study abroad and internships in Europe, Latin America and New Caledonia. There is a growing need for professionals with excellent language and cultural skills. English alone is just not enough. Employers seek people with a real ability to communicate and translate across languages, cultures and societies. We provide our students with knowledge and skills that are applicable to a great variety of careers in business, government, NGOs, education, communication, and the cultural sector.
