About the course

La Trobe University's Bachelor of Global Studies provides a solid foundation in global issues affecting key regions and countries worldwide. This program is designed to introduce students to international challenges and their policy responses, equipping them with essential tools to address future problems.Core subjects explore the history of international relations and geopolitics, along with contemporary security issues such as American power, China's rise, armed conflict, and terrorism. Students also examine emerging human and environmental security challenges, international cooperation and conflict, the dynamics of power, sovereignty, and security in 21st-century relations, and the role of international law, including humanitarian, environmental, and refugee law.

What you will learn

The French Studies major enables you to participate in a dialogue with the French-speaking world by developing your proficiency in the language and your knowledge of French history, society and culture. The French Studies major will give you access to a vast network of international communication and a rich body of literary, historical and scientific knowledge. French is spoken on all continents and in various organisations such as the United Nations and Médecins Sans Frontières. The language prepares you to excel in numerous fields including education, translating and interpreting, foreign affairs and trade, international law and humanitarian work. You will be strongly encouraged to apply for an exchange program with one of La Trobe’s partner universities in France. (Please note: overseas programs may be impacted by travel restrictions.) You should enrol in the appropriate stream at first-year level: Beginners (students with little or no prior knowledge of French), Intermediate (students with Year 11 French or equivalent), Advanced (students with Year 12 French or equivalent) or Extended (native or near-native competency).
