Honours courses

Students desiring to enrol in pure honours in Indonesian/Malay must complete a major sequence in Indonesian/Malay with marks at credit level or above in subjects to the value of sixteen points at the third-year level with a further eight points at credit level in second or third years. Students intending to enter pure honours in Indonesian/Malay are strongly advised to complete Indonesian studies subjects. Students who have completed honours may proceed to a number of MA programs and to the PhD. For details consult the graduate studies handbook.

Combined honours may be undertaken in Indonesian and another discipline provided that all honours requirements are met in both disciplines and subject to the approval of the heads of both departments concerned.

Indonesian studies

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.
