Students spend the third year of the course studying at an overseas university. The costs of tuition and travel are met by UTS, living expenses are met by the student. Students studying in countries or regions where the cost of living is high, notably Japan, should be prepared to pay additional costs. This course provides an understanding of the context of community and non-profit organisations, and the theoretical frameworks underpinning their role in the political and economic environment. Students gain a working knowledge of these community organisations and the skills to manage them effectively.
Students then choose further study in either adult education or community management.
It includes workplace experience and students may complete a major in Human Resource Management or Business Management. Students will learn about influences of contemporary workplace practices and understand organisational structure and behaviour, the syntax to manage learning in the workplace and improve workplace practices. A strong focus on Information Technology and the use of e-learning in organisations means that the degree will have currency in today's workplace.
