Monash Asia Institute

Monash Asia Institute (MAI) was established in 1988 as the Institute for Contemporary Asian Studies (ICAS) and was reorganised and renamed in 1991. The institute reflects the belief of Monash University in Asia's significance to Australia, and together with its six centres - the Centre of Southeast Asian Studies, the Centre of East Asian Studies, the Centre of South Asian Studies, the Japanese Studies Centre, the Development Studies Centre and the Malaysian Studies Centre - exemplifies the university's commitment to the study of Asian countries, cultures and languages and to the growth of interaction between Asians and Australians in the fields of education, research, business and government. This commitment not only emphasises the burgeoning relationship between Australia and the countries of Asia, but also the continuation of an involvement which is as old as the university itself.

As well as a Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies), two postgraduate programs are offered by Monash Asia Institute: the Graduate Diploma of Arts (Asian Studies) and the Master of Arts in Asian studies. Both are coursework programs, although the MA in Asian studies includes a research option in the form of a 75 per cent thesis in Part II. These two programs are particularly designed for teachers, business people and general students who wish to deepen and broaden their knowledge of Asia.

Monash Asia Institute also publishes books, working papers, a newsletter and other research materials, including the Asian Studies Association of Australia Review, holds seminars and conferences, and facilitates student and other exchange programs with Asian universities.

MA in Asian studies

This program is intended for graduates with an interest in Asia and Australian-Asian relations, who will spend, normally, two years of full-time study, or its part-time equivalent. It is designed both to retrain and to develop new expertise and skills, to inservice train, and to encourage interdisciplinary study. Students will take subjects totalling forty-eight points in each of Part I and Part II of the program, with the option of a research project or thesis in Part II.

Entry requirements

Applicants should have a bachelors degree such as a BA or BEc or equivalent with at least credit standard results in the third part of the major sequence. Students who have an honours degree with a grade of H2B or above, or a degree which is considered to be equivalent may be admitted directly to the MA Part II by coursework. To be admitted directly to the MA Part II by research students need to have an honours degree with a grade of H2A or above, or the equivalent. Those who have extensive experience in Asian studies or Australian-Asian relations may also apply for exemption.

Language study is normally compulsory. Courses in Cambodian, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese will be available at either an introductory or advanced level, and special subjects in Hindi, Javanese, and Sundanese may be available.

MA Part I

All students will enrol in the core subject AST4000.12 (Contemporary issues in Asia) and select, in addition to this subject, other subjects from the schedule of subjects below totalling thirty-six points.

MA Part II

Students will enrol for subjects totalling forty-eight points chosen from the schedule of subjects below. Subjects may include a research project of twelve points or a thesis of 75 per cent (thirty-six points) plus a twelve-point subject or the equivalent, ie an Asian language (six points per semester) over the year (total of twelve points). For further information on research projects and thesis options, see the listing at the end of the schedule of subjects. Students who are exempted from Part I of the MA must include the core subject AST5000.12 (Contemporary issues in Asia) in Part II of their program.

The selection of subjects and research topics must be discussed with the institute and approved by the faculty. Normally each student's program will emphasise one aspect of Asian studies or Australian-Asian relations, and one region (Northeast, South or Southeast Asia), as well as language study.

For detailed subject information, lecture and tutorial times, please check in January 1996 with the relevant departments.

Thesis

A 75 per cent thesis of 35-40,000 words (thirty-six points), fulfilling three-quarters of the year's requirements may be undertaken in Part II of the MA in Asian studies. This thesis will be examined by one internal and one external examiner. Its topic must be determined in consultation with its supervisor, who is to be selected in consultation with Dr Joan Grant, executive officer, Monash Asia Institute.

Research project

A research project (9000 words) fulfilling one quarter of the year's requirements (twelve points) may be undertaken in Part II of the MA in Asian studies. Its topic must be determined in consultation with its supervisor, who is to be selected in consultation with Dr Joan Grant, executive officer, Monash Asia Institute.

Graduate Diploma of Arts (Asian Studies)

The diploma is intended for students who wish to complete a postgraduate qualification in Asian studies within one year of full-time study, or normally, two years of part-time study. The diploma is not a research-oriented qualification and does not include a dissertation.

Entry requirements

Applicants should have an approved undergraduate degree. Previous study of an Asian language or of Asian studies courses at the undergraduate level is not required.

Candidates for the diploma will take coursework totalling forty-eight points. Normally this will comprise a language and one other subject in the first semester and a combination of the language and two other subjects in the second semester. All students will enrol in the core subject AST4000.12 (Contemporary issues in Asia) and select, in addition to this subject, other subjects from the schedule of subjects totalling thirty-six points, including, normally, an Asian language. The selection of subjects must be discussed with the executive officer of the institute, Dr Joan Grant, or the director, Professor John McKay, and approved by the faculty.

For detailed subject information, lecture and tutorial times, please check in January 1996 with the relevant departments.

General requirements and prohibitions

1. All subjects within the MA in Asian studies must be passed at credit level.

2. No subject taken at undergraduate level may be credited or repeated as part of the diploma or MA in Asian studies. Credit may not be gained for any subject offered under a different name but regarded by the faculty as the equivalent or part equivalent of that subject. The following pair of subjects fall into this category: MBA6960.06 (International trade policy making) and PLM5560.12 (Politics of international trade).

3. The core subject, `Contemporary issues in Asia', is compulsory for both the diploma and the MA in Asian studies, and under normal circumstances must be taken in the first semester in first year of the diploma or the MA course. Students are encouraged to take `Thinking about Asia' in the second semester of the first year of the diploma or MA courses.

4. It is expected that students will complete all assignments on time and at normal graduate standards of scholarship and research.

5. Language study is normally compulsory, and under normal circumstances only one language can be studied in the course of the MA in Asian studies or Graduate Diploma of Arts (Asian Studies).

6. The selection of courses must be discussed with the MAI executive officer, Dr Joan Grant or the director, Professor John McKay.

7. Students undertaking a research project or minor thesis in the second year of the MA in Asian studies must consult with MAI staff before selecting their topic and supervisor, and with their supervisor during the course of their research.
