Overview
The Bachelor of Languages and Cultures offers students studies in languages other than English, culture and society focused on developing their intercultural and linguistic capabilities. It also offers a capstone subject that allows students to design and carry out a small-scale research project that requires them to apply their linguistic skills and cultural knowledge.
The combined Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Bachelor of Languages and Cultures Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice provides students with intercultural and linguistic skills that raise their awareness of the international implications of engineering. Students develop an understanding and awareness of a language other than English languages and another culture and refine their intercultural skills. Students also develop their professional skills in writing, research and evaluation.
The purpose of the course is to develop skills for leadership in the professional practice of engineering while at the same time providing an opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of another language and culture, intercultural awareness and engagement, resilience and adaptability, and stronger communication skills. It reflects a belief in the international character of engineering and the conviction that Australian professionals can benefit from the early development of an international perspective and a fluency in cross-cultural interactions.
Career options
Career options depend on the major chosen. Options are enhanced by the study of other cultures and languages other than English, making students more marketable to prospective employers.
Admission requirements
Applicants must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification, Australian Qualifications Framework Diploma, or equivalent Australian or overseas qualification at the required level.
The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 550-583 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64; or CAE: 176-184.
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.
International students
Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.
Assumed knowledge
HSC Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English (Standard). There are no prior language requirements for the languages and cultures program.
English (Advanced) is recommended. For the biomedical and civil engineering majors, Chemistry is recommended. For the software engineering major, a sound knowledge of the fundamentals of programming is recommended.
Recognition of prior learning
Students who have previously undertaken relevant study at a recognised tertiary education institution may be eligible for recognition of prior learning (RPL) if the subjects completed are deemed by the faculty to be equivalent to subjects in the course. Study completed more than 10 years prior to the date of admission cannot be recognised. Limits apply to the number of credit points of RPL granted.
Course duration and attendance
The course duration is normally six-and-a-half years of full-time study, although it may be possible to complete the degree in less time than this.
Course structure
Students are required to complete 300 credit points, comprising 204 credit points in engineering and 96 credit points in languages and cultures. The engineering component consists of core (42 credit points), major (field of practice) (114 credit points) and the professional engineering practice program (48 credit points). The languages and cultures component consists of core subjects (32 credit points), language and culture (32 credit points) Contemporary Society (8 credit points), a second language choice (16 credit points and elective (8 credit points).
Industrial training/professional practice
Students undertake a minimum of 48 weeks of professional engineering internship. Some students choose to take their first period of engineering internship overseas, during their second or third year of enrolment. Most take this first period in Australia. This course is also available without the Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice. For details, refer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Bachelor of Languages and Cultures (C09127).
