Double Degrees

Bachelor of Business/ Bachelor of Arts (Italian)
Bachelor of Business (International Business)/ Bachelor of Arts (Italian)

Italian is more than a language with business!

Five reasons why

• Increases employment opportunities
  International firms active on a global level are looking for people who are familiar with other languages in order to address potential customers in their native language and positively respond to their cultural needs. Graduates of these double degrees are highly marketable with an advantage over single degree graduates, as to date, very few Australians have been able to combine Business and Italian Studies with such relevance to business and industry needs.

• Two degrees in only 4 years
  You can gain knowledge and expertise in two different but complementary areas. The double degree improves and diversifies your skills - a broad comprehensive knowledge in a variety of business areas complemented with the understanding of Italian language, culture, modern history and business practices. Two degrees are better than one... with just one more year of study (single degree 3 years full time)!

• Introduces a European perspective and relationship with Australia
  The European Union is a powerful economic region on the world stage. Home to 499 million people and growing, new market segments continue to emerge as well as many cultural and linguistic fields. The double degree can facilitate the development of new relationships between Australia and Europe through individual graduates who have gained a competent knowledge of the European Union and its market.

• Unique international opportunities
  Swinburne offers you highly rewarding once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to add value to your university experience. Gain credit towards your degree by studying Italian in Italy with the Treviso Program, or take part in the European Union Study Tour and learn first hand the cultural, political, economic and regulatory characteristics of the European Union. Strong ties with international firms enable students to work before graduating through Work Experience in Europe . Students can immerse themselves in the Italian way of life through student exchange at one of Swinburne's partner universities in Italy .

• Swinburne is the only institution in Australia to offer you this opportunity
  The double degree creates links between the European Union and the Italian business environments moving from an Australian perspective. It guarantees a complete integration of these different areas and their economic and cultural systems into the academic curriculum. Swinburne Italian staff are primarily mother-tongue speakers who are highly qualified and experienced at providing a supportive and interactive teaching
