Australian Studies

Description

Australian Studies is a broad interdisciplinary field, covering studies of Australian history, culture, politics and the environment from its first settlement by Aboriginal people until the present. Students come away from our courses with a solid understanding of the key events and issues that define Australian society today, and Australia’s place in the wider world. These skills place our graduates in high demand by employers in both public and private sectors, both here and overseas where Australian knowledge is required.
