100 credit points

Students study Indonesian Studies as a Major (100 points) or Minor (75 points) through a progression of six language subjects. The Major also includes an additional two electives.

Common entry points for the Major and Minor are as follows:

Indonesian Studies 1: Students who have never studied Indonesian before or have only rudimentary knowledge of the language usually enter the progression at Indonesian 1.
Indonesian Studies 3: Students who have completed VCE Indonesian (Second Language), Standard IB Indonesian or have an equivalent language level usually enter the progression at Indonesian 3.
Indonesian Studies 5: Students who perform at an advanced level in Indonesian, for example those who have completed VCE Indonesian (First Language) or have lived or studied in Indonesia, usually enter at Indonesian 5.
Advanced Indonesian: Students with a very advanced level of language study, including for example those who attended several years of Indonesian or Malay medium school or have worked several years in an Indonesian or Malay speaking environment would normally enter the Advanced Indonesian entry point. The Advanced Indonesian entry point is only available as a minor.

Students will have their appropriate entry point determined by the Indonesian Studies Program, based on evidence of prior learning and/or results of a placement test as required. Please refer the following link for further information:
