Indonesian Studies minor (B-ARTS_MINOR_32)

Overview

The undergraduate program in Indonesian Studies comprises coursework designed to build students' knowledge and skills in understanding and analysing Indonesian language and society.

Indonesian language subjects are organised in a progressive sequence (of units) from Indonesian 1 through to Indonesian 6, with 4 additional advanced units. Entry points are determined by the student’s background in the language, placement testing, prerequisites, or at the discretion of the Indonesian Studies program.

Mid-year entry is also possible, subject to appropriate prior experience and approval from the convenor of the Indonesian Studies program.
