KEY AREAS OF ARTSAUSTRALIAN STUDIESTo many individuals the continent of Australia is an unknown and mysterious last frontier with its Aboriginal culture, pioneer history, unique flora and fauna and a vast ‘unexplored’ outback. All these special icons have a story and Australian Studies provides an insight into these stories.

Australian Studies aims to provide a broad understanding of the natural, social and political development of Australia. Themes explored include:• Australia’s political foundations and the development

of federalism, judiciary and legislature• Australian literature, the media and cinema and their

role in the development of an Australian identity and character

• Australian popular culture, multiculturalism and contemporary Aboriginal issues

• Early Australian history, colonial culture, Australian American relations, Australia at war

• The development of the Australian continent• The origin, variation and unique development of

Australian Aboriginal culture

LANGUAGESIn today’s seemingly shrinking world, where information from across the globe is at your fingertips and where people from different countries and backgrounds are melding together, it is important for global citizens to be able to communicate with each other effectively and in more than one language.

The Faculty offers four languages:• Chinese (Mandarin)• French• Japanese• Spanish

The languages program at Bond University aims to not only introduce the language being learned, but also provide a wider understanding of the cultural, economic, linguistic and political activities of relevant countries. The Faculty offers four levels of each language on campus. Advanced students have the opportunity to take an exchange or semester abroad in a country that speaks the language. Cultural studies majors in the four language areas are also available.

PHILOSOPHYPhilosophy is a broadly based form of enquiry into the fundamental aspects of human knowledge and activity. It deals with morality, art, science, religion, politics and society. Philosophy is less about memorising information than it is about learning to adopt a style of thinking. It aims to assist students in developing their own capabilities for reflecting critically and deeply on issues which are of fundamental and enduring significance.

Philosophy is also an excellent study option if you are interested in becoming more skilful at framing arguments and writing cogent and coherent essays. Philosophy develops techniques of critical thinking, conceptual analysis and logical argument and applies them to both the big philosophical questions and also more immediate practical issues, such as particular controversies in ethics, politics, law and religion.

CAREERSYou could expect to find employment in a wide range of careers depending on the majors you undertake throughout your arts degree.

APPLIED LINGUISTICS / TESOL

11

BEYOND BORDERSLanguage is a very complex and unique part of being human. Language is one of the things that separates us from the animal kingdom and each other. If your ambition lies beyond borders, both linguistically and culturally then a degree in applied linguistics from Bond University can help break down those borders and bring your ambition to life.

Applied linguistics is a scholarly discipline which focuses on the applications of theories to an understanding of how humans learn and use languages (first or second). These theories are related to linguistics and other disciplines including education, psychology, philosophy or anthropology. Applied linguistics also applies to such areas as second language acquisition, bilingualism, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and second language pedagogy.

Second language pedagogy has two main aims, the first is to provide a background of insights into language learning and the second is to explore the practical applications of these theories in the language classroom.

The teaching of language is separated into two areas - TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and LOTE (Languages Other Than English). Here in Australia, graduates are qualified to teach in ELICOS centres or in ESL units that meet the requirements set out by the National ELT Accreditation Scheme.

TESOL and LOTE studies can also be combined with education qualifications which allow graduates to work in school settings as language teachers*.

If your dream is to travel or work and live overseas you may wish to consider a TESOL qualification. This allows you to widen your options and assist non-English speakers in any country to master this international language.

The applied linguistics programs at Bond ensure you are well prepared by incorporating language class simulations where students gain real time feedback on their techniques. You will also benefit from the ease of gaining practical experience at the Bond University English Language Institute (BUELI), our on-campus ELICOS centre.

Access to hands-on learning in real language acquisition classes is literally at your fingertips.

Bond University has a distinctly global perspective, aspiring to a 50 : 50 ratio of Australian to international students. Therefore our campus offers the ideal environment to learn and teach languages. In addition to gaining insight into the multitude of cultures represented on campus, you’ll also make friends and business contacts from all over the world.

Move beyond your language and cultural borders and see how a degree in applied linguistics can bring your ambition to life.

CAREERSDepending on combinations undertaken, graduates could expect to find employment as a:• Language teacher• Primary, middle or secondary school teacher*• Teacher in an ELICOS centre

(other registration and qualifications are required)

Applied linguistics can also be used in many other areas including teaching, industrial relations, media, business, marketing and careers within the multinational sectors.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

AMBITION ON A GLOBAL SCALEWhether your ambitions lie in investigating new markets in Asia for an expanding Australian business, negotiating trade deals in South Africa for a multi-national corporation, working for an aid agency in Latin America, writing international policies for a government minister, or representing your country as an embassy diplomat; an International Relations degree from Bond University can help put your career on the map.

Global interdependence means that all countries are affected by developments beyond their own borders. Survival for both business and government alike is now premised on their ability to operate in the international arena.

Knowing a region’s specific cultural traditions, being aware of their foreign policies, trade agreements and government systems can help ensure successful relationship building between nations. This applies whether you are engaged in a business, legal, diplomatic or media capacity. With the advancement of technology and the emergence of new markets, our world is getting smaller, creating an imperative to understand what is happening both in Australia and overseas. International Relations at Bond focuses on the key areas of international politics, economics, socio-cultural orientation and military relations, providing a well rounded knowledge base for those wanting to make their mark in the international arena.

Think-tank, negotiation and case study activities form a major part of the practical learning methodologies. Every year the program is visited by practitioners from both government and non-government sectors. You will work alongside these experts to workshop global issues including poverty, corruption and health.

The programs also incorporate a strong practical component. You will be offered the opportunity to undertake internships in various organisations and in cities such as Paris, Dubai, Singapore and New York.

Our international relations academics are active researchers who visit their respective regions of expertise regularly, ensuring they are up-to-date with the latest developments in foreign policy, economics, military and trade policies. Bond has established a reputation for students combining Law and International Relations programs with great success, creating skilled legal practitioners with a vast international and political knowledge base.

Our world is an ever changing, vital place and wherever it is you want to go, an International Relations degree from Bond University can take you there.

CAREERSThe study of international relations can be applied to many different areas depending on majors undertaken.You may find an International Relations degree particularly useful in the following areas:• Defence• Diplomacy• Foreign affairs• International business• Media• Trade
