The School of Languages <strong>and</strong> Cultures coordinates the teaching<br />
of languages, cultural studies <strong>and</strong> literature, from 100-level<br />
courses through to Honours <strong>and</strong> postgraduate programmes.<br />
Majors are offered in the following subjects: Asian Studies,<br />
Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Modern Language<br />
Studies <strong>and</strong> Spanish.<br />
These subjects have obvious affinities with others in the<br />
<strong>Faculty</strong> of Humanities <strong>and</strong> Social Sciences such as Art History,<br />
Classics, Cultural Anthropology, English, Film Studies, History,<br />
International Relations, Linguistics, Media Studies, Music,<br />
Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies <strong>and</strong> Sociology.<br />
There is also the possibility of combining language study with<br />
courses for another degree, or a conjoint or double degree<br />
such as Commerce, Architecture, Law, Music, Science, Teaching<br />
or Tourism.<br />
Languages <strong>and</strong> Cultures students have numerous opportunities<br />
to participate in extra-curricular activities such as the <strong>Victoria</strong><br />
International Leadership Programme <strong>and</strong> events organised by<br />
centres such as the New Zeal<strong>and</strong> Centre for Literary Translation<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Confucius Centre. The student clubs of the various<br />
language <strong>and</strong> culture programmes also organise events,<br />
excursions <strong>and</strong> performances.<br />
The School offers exchanges with a number of universities<br />
<strong>and</strong> many students take up Teaching Assistantships offered<br />
in France, Germany, Spain <strong>and</strong> Japan. Scholarships <strong>and</strong> prizes<br />
in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese <strong>and</strong> Spanish are<br />
also available.
