Bachelor of Arts
We’ve redesigned the Bachelor of Arts so you can get the most out of this program. Step outside the classroom and get real world experience with an internship. Travel overseas and get credit towards your degree with a study abroad program. Find a meaningful community service project. At Western, you’re not just learning how to make a difference in the world. You’re doing it.

Our new delivery mode combines traditional classroom learning with 24-hour access to program materials online. This gives you greater flexibility and more time to discuss ideas and collaborate in class.

Depending on your major, there are opportunities for practical experience and international placements. We’ve also got state-of-the-art facilities like our own recording studio, multimedia labs and digital suites.

Effective communication and critical thinking skills are valued in all industries. That’s why there are so many career pathways in this program. Communication and media, education, psychology, social policy, writing and publishing are just some of the career opportunities our graduates pursue.

Major: International English
International English examines English in its many varieties with a focus on the international development of this language, extending far beyond native English speakers, and identifying features of the language essential to academic and professional performance.

The major provides a basis for international students who may intend to teach English in different countries, or enter other language-centred professions, or for local students intending to pursue post-graduate qualifications in education or wanting to improve English skills.

The major provides studies in the varieties and structures of English, informed by specific studies in linguistics, English teaching and bilingualism and language acquisition.
