Arts, Humanities and Languages
It's all about courses...
UWS also offers a wide range of postgraduate courses ranging from graduate certificates through to Masters, which can have a language or non-language specific focus conducted on campus and by distance.
Some of these are also NAATI approved.
With a student population from a variety of countries, our students experience an exciting learning environment. Practising interpreters can also enrol in individual subjects for professional development.
Arts at UWS is all about opportunities!
The University has recently awarded a grant to the School of Humanities and Languages to fund a project that allows UWS Language and Interpreting and Translation students to work with the local Maltese Language School (MLA). The project culminates in a community event dealing with Maltese language in the Diaspora. Students involved in the project will get the opportunity to enrich the MLA's community role, and will get the chance to use their language and linguistics knowledge in an authentic context.
The project, and others like it across the Arts, Humanities and Languages areas of study, is part of an innovative new unit called 'Learning Through Community Service'. The aim of this unit is to provide students with the opportunity to exercise the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom in a practical community setting. The unit also provides effective problem solving strategies for the community organisations involved, building lasting relationships with the University, and potential career opportunities for students.
