Major Description

The Indonesian Studies major will familiarize students in the national language of the world’s fourth most populous country. The Indonesian language is closely related to varieties of Malay spoken in Malaysia, Singapore, southern Thailand and some of the southern areas of the Philippines. You will also be introduced to the Indonesian culture and nation, which houses a large part of the world’s biodiversity and is one of the world’s most religiously, linguistically, culturally and socially diverse countries. You will also learn about how Indonesia is one of Australia’s most important neighbours, with continuing cooperation between our countries at government and non-government levels in areas of natural disaster aid, poverty reduction, border protection, defence, trade, commerce, finance, education and the arts. Despite these relationships, Indonesia remains one of our least understood neighbours.

Studying the Indonesian Studies major will equip you to work toward building an Australia that understands and can communicate with its neighbours. You will be equipped with appropriate knowledge and skills to communicate effectively in Indonesian and you will also learn to develop a sympathetic understanding of the complex and diverse cultures of Indonesia.

Depending on students' prior knowledge of and/or qualifications in the Indonesian language when they commence their degree, there are four different major streams: Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced and Extended. Heritage speakers are required to take a placement test before enrolling.
