Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Criminology - European Languages

The Bachelor of Arts allows you to choose from over forty areas of study, and to develop the research skills, advanced discipline knowledge and self-reliance to acquire information, assess evidence and convey complex ideas. You will be able to enrich your global awareness through a multitude of internship, professional engagement and overseas study opportunities such as the Monash Arts Global Immersion Guarantee, preparing you to live and work in complex and culturally diverse environments while building a community of like-minded peers. You'll develop a rich understanding of human difference and communication, and the complexities of social organisation. The Bachelor of Criminology is the study of crime and social control: how we define it, what causes it, and how we respond to it provide a window into our society. The degree will give you an understanding of victimisation and perpetration, and inequality and its impacts. You will consider the local, national and global aspects of crime and justice while assessing society’s changing responses. Learn about crime committed by individuals, groups, organisations and states and the mechanisms of the criminal justice system including police, courts and corrections. You will engage with policy leaders in crime and justice, and experience criminal justice in action in a range of international, national and local contexts. Take the opportunity to combine criminology with areas of study that offer a natural pairing such as psychology, sociology, behavioural studies, gender studies, anthropology. With a double degree in Arts and Criminology, you will cultivate skills in critically evaluating evidence, developing your own supported arguments, and understanding of the possibilities and challenges of reform. You will become an expert in your chosen discipline, and will be work ready, equipped with the core skills employers in all sectors are looking for.

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.
