UTS: International Studies offer Language and Culture programs in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. Students study a language other than English, not only to gain a communication tool, but also to gain an understanding of another culture and society. By enrolling in a Language and Culture program all UTS Students can increase their international and intercultural skills.

Language and Culture subjects admit students at different levels and are able to meet various levels of linguistic competence in order to enhance each student's communicative ability. Usually, previous study of a language(s) does not give exemptions for subjects in Language and Culture programs.
