UKZN BA in International Studies Course

BA (International Studies)

KN-P-ABI

International Studies prepares students for life both as broadly trained professionals and as citizens of the world. The multi- disciplinary approach of the programme exposes graduates to intellectual explorations of different social norms, values, cultural contexts, and political systems around the world. Also, it seeks to prepare students to develop a more flexible outlook for understanding and evaluating the complex societies and institutions that help give shape to our world. In this way, graduates are better positioned for employment in a variety of businesses and multinational agencies and organisations such as the intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that have clients or conduct business around the world. Increasingly, the most attractive career paths require knowledge and skills that go beyond one’s own community or country. The BA (International Studies) is a new age degree programme that aims to prepare graduates for lives in a fast-changing world or for postgraduate training in a wide variety of fields.
