Southeast Asian Studies at Murdoch

Murdoch University has one of the best concentrations of research scholarship in Southeast Asian Studies of any university in Australia. Murdoch is the founding and host institution of the Australian Consortium for In-Country Indonesian Studies (ACICIS), which arranges for students around Australia to undertake study in Indonesia. The Consortium, established in 1994, now has 21 Australian universities as members. Graduates of Southeast Asian Studies have taken up a variety of interesting jobs working in Western Australia, interstate and overseas.

Murdoch offers a range of undergraduate programmes and postgraduate programmes that can include study of Indonesian language, as well as Southeast Asian culture, society, literature, religion, history, economics, politics, sociology and anthropology. The four-year Bachelor of Asian Studies (Indonesian Studies) includes a year spent studying in-country at an Indonesian university, arranged through ACICIS. Indonesian language units can be taken in the external (distance education) mode for students who are not able to attend on-campus.
