A major and a minor sequence in Indonesian studies are also offered within the department. The Department of Asian Languages and Studies strongly recommends that students majoring in Indonesian studies complete a minor sequence in Indonesian language. Students majoring in Indonesian studies who do not complete at least a minor sequence in Indonesian language must complete a first-year sequence in Indonesian language as well as a minor sequence in a `discipline study'. Students majoring in Indonesian studies who entered Monash University after the beginning of 1993 must complete a minor in Indonesian/Malay language or build on a minor sequence in a discipline (eg sociology, linguistics) to the satisfaction of the discipline concerned. There is no language requirement for students minoring in Indonesian studies.
