the course at ANU is called B arts (International Relations) so i would assume that it has international relations...

but i wouldnt mind Usyd just i doubt i will get a UAI high enough (its been 96ish for the last 2 years and im most likely going to get around 90 at the most.......)

B Int Studies at usyd is the only one that involves international relations.

Any other int studies degree is basically totally unrelated.

ANU is not as good as usyd for undergrad, although the pol sci departments are well regarded internationally.

What are you on about?

As you can see, it can be somewhat different in approaches, so i suggest finding out more on the degrees, and what job you may want at the end and whether these degrees satisfy the requirements for them.

what im asking is if there is a DIFFERENCE between International STUDIES and international RELATIONS

International Studies at USYD is under the Faculty of Economics & Business so it's more commerce like.

International Studies at UNSW is under the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences so it's more towards the Arts side of things. You get to specialise in either Asian/European/Global/Language studies. You spend a year overseas.

International Studies at UTS is taken in a combined degree - I don't think you can do it as a single like undergraduate law. It mainly focuses on other countries and aspects of other cultures to complement your major.

Arts (International Relations) at ANU is similar to the UNSW course above except it's shorter in duration (3 years FT vs 4 year FT), you do a core International Relations plus a language or communications major. You don't go overseas.

You can find all this information at the respective uni handbooks online.

I think you can do an international relations major in the international studies degree at UNSW. You also study overseas for part of the UNSW degree as well I think.
