24cp; availability: not offered to exchange and study abroad students
Requisite(s): 977430 In-country Study 1: Italy

Undergraduate

This subject is the key component of the Italy major in the BA in International Studies, which involves two semesters of study overseas attached to a partner institution of UTS. In-country study is designed to enable students to experience living and studying in the culture of their specialisation and is guided by the principles of cultural immersion and reflection, as well as self-reliance.

The subject builds on the life and learning experiences of In-country Study 1: Italy to recognise that intercultural competence is integral to professional practice. In-country Study 2: Italy further develops students' capacity for critical reflection – in particular, the ability to identify and question one's cultural assumptions, values and beliefs, and thus to acknowledge and empathise with the perspectives of people from other cultures.

The assessments and life experiences of this subject form the culmination of a student's International Studies degree at UTS, and are intended to prepare students for lifelong learning about international societies and cultures.
