Macquarie University
Bachelor of Arts (Modern Greek Studies)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationHaving the ability to communicate successfully across cultures, as well as the expertise to apply language and cultural engagement skills in local and global situations, will enhance your career prospects in a range of professions with an international outlook. An understanding of Greek is a useful professional skill that can be especially valuable when combined with a wide range of disciplines, including arts, education, international communication, law, media, medicine, philosophy, politics or science.
The Modern Greek Studies major will provide you with a sound knowledge of the Greek language and culture, as well as an understanding of the cultural diversity that defines Australia. Greek is very much in use in Australia today, with three Greek newspapers in circulation and several radio networks broadcasting in Greek in New South Wales alone. Units are available from beginner to advanced level.
