Indonesian Studies // Structure

The Diploma consists of a three-year sequence of first-, second- and third-year language study and may add up to one year to the duration of the student’s degree course. See the Diploma course structure for details.

Students study Indonesian as a Diploma through a progression of six language subjects and two electives.

Common entry points for Diploma 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 Studies 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 Studies 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 Studies 5.

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 to the following link for further information:
