Having the ability to communicate successfully across cultures, as well as the expertise to apply language and cultural engagement skills in local and global situations, will enhance your career prospects in a range of professions with an international outlook. An understanding of Croatian is a useful professional skill that can be especially valuable when combined with a wide range of disciplines, including accounting, economics, education, international communication, law, media, politics or science.

The Croatian Studies major will provide you with a sound knowledge of the Croatian language and culture through intensive language teaching, and a critical analysis of Croatian literature, history and culture. Macquarie was the first tertiary institution in Australia – and one of the first in the world – where Croatian language, literature and culture enjoyed full academic and cultural autonomy.
