The Indonesian Studies Honours stream introduces undergraduate students to humanities and/or social science research in various fields of Indonesia as an area studies. Students undertake a supervised research project that places emphasis on research methods in the discipline, critical thinking, and high-level analytical skills, and communication via written submission and oral presentations. Students also do research by using materials written in major language in Southeast Asian region (e.g. Indonesian, Malays). In addition to research, students undertake courses on methods and theories specific to the discipline as well as on language translation skill for research and professional purpose. The learning and teaching philosophy underpinning this course is centred on Honours students taking on their ‘role as a researcher’ to develop these skills and the relevant advanced disciplinary knowledge.
