The course includes core units in international and global studies, and the opportunity for students to study up to three semesters overseas. The international studies can be completed at a Monash off shore campus (South Africa, Prato Italy or Sunway Malaysia) or at one of more than 100 partner universities around the world. The University may provide grants of up to $4000 to students who study abroad as part of its commitment to encourage the international learning experience.
  • The Science component provides a broad, general science education with specialist training in one or more science areas chosen from over 30 different areas. The flexibility of the science course allows students to explore new areas, further develop their strengths and to pursue their own interests. The course offers practical employment skills including numeracy, data analysis, information literacy, problem solving, communication and presentation skills, and the capacity to work in teams.
  • The Arts component of the course includes an international study major, and students can select a minor that complements the global theme such as languages, politics or cultural studies. There are also compulsory global studies units.
  • In addition to developing a broad and critical understanding of knowledge, the course is designed to foster an intellectual and cultural curiosity as a preparation for lifelong learning.
  • Student graduating from this double degree will have improved life and employment opportunities. The international perspective and the highly developed scientific skills gained from this degree will help shape careers in international relations or trade, foreign affairs, diplomacy, politics and government, environmental research and planning and with international not-for-profit organisations, as well as in any of the traditional or emerging areas of science.
