UTS Bachelor of Arts in International Studies 25th Anniversary

Alan McGuinness,BA IS/ B Communication (Public Communication), ICS China

My fondest memory is delving into modern Chinese history for the first time in an unassuming UTS lecture theatre – a revelation that continues to excite. The BaIS opened my eyes to the broader world and made me much more adaptable.

Alan combined International Studies with a Bachelor of Public Communication.  In China, he studied at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

The skills, language and in-country immersion helped take me in unexpected directions, from private sector roles in Sydney to government roles in Canberra, Shanghai and Beijing.
