This major has been designed to meet the needs of Australian government, business and society to engage the states and peoples of Asia at all levels in the pursuits of national interest and as part of the globalisation process. It provides students with the opportunity to study modern and contemporary Asia - the rich and diverse histories, politics, cultures and languages of Asian countries and the international issues affecting Australia's interests and role in the region and in the world at large. It has a strong international flavour with a wide range of units concerned with the United States, Europe and Australia as well as Asia itself and units in international politics, war and peace. It seeks to produce graduates with a broad, liberal education with skills to mediate between Australia and the world in general and Asia in particular through political, economic, commercial, cultural, diplomatic and strategic links. Employment opportunities may be found in the State and Commonwealth public service, overseas organisations, trade and tourist organisations, business and industry, education and research.
