There is a lot of information here about what happens before you get to go on In-country study (ICS). We’ve chopped it up into helpful sections. The further you get towards ICS, the more information you’ll need to get your head around. But don’t worry; you don’t need to know everything all at once.

As a key component of the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (BAIS), students spend their fourth year of study at a partner university overseas. This year abroad, known as In-country study (ICS), provides a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the language and culture of another country.

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THE BAIS?
As a combined student studying Bachelor of Arts in International Studies, you’ll select a major that gives you specialised knowledge of your chosen country or region of the world.

ARE YOU IN YEAR ONE?
This is the foundation year of your combined degree. All your subjects will relate to your professional degree.

ARE YOU IN YEAR TWO?
This is the second year of your combined degree. You will study a combination of professional and International Studies subjects. 

ARE YOU IN YEAR THREE?
This is the third year of your combined degree. 

ARE YOU ON IN-COUNTRY STUDIES (YEAR FOUR)? 
This is the year where you will commence your In-Country Study overseas and begin study at your chosen partner university. 

HAVE YOU RETURNED FROM IN-COUNTRY STUDIES (YEAR 5/6 AND ALUMNI)?
This is the year/s where you will return from your In-Country studies and complete the remained of your professional degree. 

Acknowledgement of Country

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation and the Boorooberongal People of the Dharug Nation upon whose ancestral lands our campuses now stand. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
