Program structure
Australia's political, economic and social ties with Asia have expanded in recent years and will continue to become even stronger.
Consequently, the developing countries of East and South-East Asia are the focus of this degree, which is designed to broaden your outlook and equip you for a range of stimulating career options within the wider region. These could include companies operating within the region, government agencies, tourism and travel operators, education providers or aid organisations.
This program is one of the few degrees in Australia that offers a wide selection of Asian studies courses to provide you with the unique opportunity to study an Asian language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Indonesian) and undertake a comprehensive set of prescribed Asian studies core courses, as well as an optional minor.
Year 1
You will be introduced to economics, political institutions, globalisation, cultures and societies, and introductory language studies.
Years 2 and 3
You will complete courses for the Asian and International Studies major and supplement your studies with a choice of:
- an overseas internship or exchange
- an additional area of specialised study, or minor
- specialisations offered from other areas of the University
