[captnbuttons]

Hey!! i was wondering if anyone out there was also considering doing international studies at UNSW? I've had a look around the other unis and they do international studies or a simialr version but only as a Bachelor of Arts, but UNSW does an actual bachelor of International studies!
I'm really really REALLY interested in this course... does anybody out there do it already?! what do you think?!

And also, i saw that the 2001 UAI mark had to be an 89 or a 90 i think it was.. do u think this will go up or stay pretty much the same?

Thanks guys!

[captnbuttons]

International studies is like languages, globilisation, linguistics, history its under the social science faculty i'm pretty sure! Jobs include diplomatic positions, translating, interpretng, anything with languages, workng in embassies i know osmeone who even got accepted into asio! lol

I want to do this course!!! However I can't decide whether is hould put the ANU course or this one as my first preference. Logically, I should go to Canberra as it is the national capital but i have always wanted to move to Sydney.

What do you want to do with the course captbuttons? Do you already do a language? I do italian and i would love to continue that however UNSW apparently only offers Italian by correspondance through UNE. I would like to also learn spanish so maybe i could do that.

Also which stream are you interested in doing. i only know for sure that i don't want to do asian studies but the other 3 look interseting.

In terms of UAI, the course is brand new - so there is NO previous cut offs...
