At UNSW, Indonesian Studies combine the teaching of practical language skills with the study of history, society, culture and customs. Students will gain knowledge and skills relevant to a wide range of career paths, from business, trade and commerce to diplomacy, tourism, interpreting and translating, and the media. Placement Information Students who wish to enrol in a language course without completing the necessary prerequisites are required to complete an online placement application form before the commencement of the semester.  For more information, please see the School Website. Cross-Institutional Arrangement with University of Sydney Students who are undertaking Indonesian Studies as a minor may complete some components of their study through cross-institutional study at the University of Sydney. Students who successfully complete Indonesian courses cross-institutionally will have their results reported as transfer credits at UNSW, that is, specific grades will not appear on their UNSW transcript. Commonwealth-supported students (domestic undergraduate students) in a UNSW program will pay the student contribution amounts at the University of Sydney for each course. International students will pay the corresponding tuition fees. Students will be required to pay the Student Services and Amenities Fees (SSAF) at the University of Sydney. They may seek a refund for the corresponding UNSW fees if they are concurrently enrolled at UNSW. Students are responsible for all travel and any ancillary or incidental costs or expenses. Students undertaking cross-institutional study at the University of Sydney are responsible for ensuring that all the requirements for their application are completed and submitted by the deadlines advertised. The cross-institutional arrangement with the University of Sydney is subject to annual review by both Universities. It may be discontinued or varied at any time at the Universities’ sole discretion. If the arrangement is discontinued, UNSW will put in place alternative arrangements so that students can finish their study. Please note, students who are considering cross-institutional study should contact the UNSW Arts and Social Sciences Student Centre.
