您为什么要在UTS学习国际研究？
Now, in all honesty, who wouldn’t want to do this awesome double degree?!国外一年，一种新的语言和文化，新的技能和终生经验。
国际研究学位的前三名优点
＃1：您在国外度过一年
“最好的部分是国外的一年，我从未经历过这样的事情，” Emiko说。
出色地，，，，we aren’t surprised about this — for a lot of students, it’s the first time living out of home and in a different country!一切都是新的和不同的，一开始会有一些文化冲击，您可能会迷失在翻译中，但这一切都是如此令人兴奋和一个绝佳的学习机会。
您将结交一生，并有回忆在赛道上谈论数年！
#2: Experience another language and culture
It’s true that the best way to learn a language is living in the country! Well,you have a whole year away to learn the language and experience the culture.
“你确实意识到how much you actually learn in the country compared to two years of learning German in Australia- 太疯狂了！”Emiko告诉我们。
她补充说：“I don’t think I’ve ever lived in a place for that long where the official language was not my first language.I was able to be in that position for the first time and I think that’s a valuable experience that I’ll never get again.”
#3: You grow as a person
当您到达时，您仍在努力学习语言，而且文化是不同的。You’ll definitely find yourself out of your comfort zone at some point or multiple times but these moments are where you grow!
Emiko说：“我想沉浸在另一种文化中并将自己放在深处，使您能够了解更多有关自己的信息并成长为一个全面的人。”
Top 3 Cons of an International Studies degree
＃1：国外评估结构
Although you do have to attend the language classes at your host university, you’re not marked on these classes! Instead,UTS标志着您以英语完成的文化评估任务标志着您的文化评估任务 - 所有这些评估都导致了您的Capstone研究项目。
Emiko told us that这种结构“使人很难专注于语言研究，，，，one of the most important parts about the in-country study.”
＃2：您对语言学习负责
“PerhapsI should have pushed myself to meet more German students on exchange at UTS在我国内或加入了德国社会study,” Emiko said.
At the end of day,您的语言流利性取决于您！您要把自己放在那里并犯错误 - 这就是您学习语言的方式。
在某些国家 - 例如，德国，很多人会说英语，因此，如果您想学习语言，就必须对自己严格。Make German friends, listen to German music and watch German films!
＃3：嗯，真的没有其他骗局！
It’s pretty cool that you can spend a year abroad and it counts as part of your degree!它只是增加了两年的核心学位（您无法在UTS自己学习国际研究 - 看看hereto see the double degree options).
在这段时间，您可以学习一种语言，创造终身记忆并完成原始研究— this degree really gives you the edge and makes you stand out from the crowd!
有遗憾吗？
“I wouldn’t say I have any regrets about this degree, and I was able to do what I set out to do during the degree，，，，” said Emiko.
现在，我们很确定这说明了！
您希望在创建国际研究学士学位之前知道什么？
“The resources provided to me prior to starting the degree were comprehensive因此，我觉得在开始之前对学位有很多了解。” Emiko说。
Something else you should definitely know: Save up!
虽然UTS支付您的机票，保险，学期前语言课程和学期费用（非常甜蜜，对吗？！），但you do have to save enough to cover your living costs and any travel you do during the year.
好事是you have three years to save up before you go abroad in your fourth year.However, that does mean that you really have to save what you make because you’ll need it when you’re abroad. And trust us,you’ll want to travel during the semester break!
There’s also the chance for you to take out an操作系统loan if you need some extra financial assistance.If you have a distinction average, you can also apply for theInternational Studies Overseas Access Scholarship它为您在国外的一年提供经济援助。
是什么使这个学位与其他大学提供的程度不同？
#1: The In-Country research project
So,you have the whole year to write your capstone (5000 words)这基本上是一个大型研究项目，您可以在其中选择一个主题，收集数据然后将其全部编写。它有很大的自由，因为您可以选择与您的东道国/国家有关的任何主题。
“为了我，我研究了哥廷根作为学术小镇的历史身份，以及这种身份如何超越现代，” Emiko说。
她补充说：“我喜欢这个项目，我选择的研究领域是it really allowed me to study the town I lived in, know more about its history and the people who lived there in the past and present。”
提交ting your final research project is so rewarding因为这是您全年一直在不断工作的事情！
#2: Develop skills that can’t be taught in the classroom
Emiko告诉我们，国际研究“与大学提供的其他研究相比为学生提供沉浸在另一个国家的文化中的宝贵经验。”
“It allows students todevelop skill sets which can rarely be taught and experience opportunities unique to being a university student in a foreign country。她说：“绝对是一个具有挑战性的程度，可以测试您的真实能力并重新发现您的身份。”
You can’t really put a price on experiences and throughout the year abroad,you’ll have all kinds of experiences that challenge you, excite you and really make you wish the time wouldn’t go so fast!
是什么促使您在国际研究中选择UTS艺术学士学位？
Emiko told us she always wanted to do International Studies!
“从早期开始学习另一种语言和文化是我的热情，，，，and being able to do so in a university setting was very appealing to me,” she said.
可能的职业道路是什么？
出色地这实际上取决于您的核心学位（无论是商业，工程，建筑，创意写作等） - 有很多不同的双学位组合）因为不能单独研究国际研究。
但是，说了这一点也许您想在海外媒体上工作或为国际业务工作，等等。该学位确实为您提供了将您的核心学位提升到新的水平的机会！
您在整个学位上都学会了很多宝贵的技能（独立，文化意识，时间管理，韧性) which are beneficial for any job!
There’s really so many possibilities depending on what your core degree is! Here are just a few international related jobs:
-
- 护士，老师，在海外工作的工程师
- Foreign correspondent
