ASIA-RELATED COURSES

Compulsory First Year Courses

Second Year Courses
There is a broad range of Asian Studies courses offered in the Faculty. These include those that focus on particular countries in Asia (e.g. Indonesia or Korea) as well as others that cover specific issues in the Asian region (e.g. media, philosophy, politics). While it is important for students to develop a good understanding of their selected country of study, they should also seek to understand the interactions between the Asian countries and the issues affecting the Asian region as a whole.

Country-Specific Courses

Courses with a Broader Regional Focus
(students are required to complete at least one course from this list)

Third Year
Most 3000 series courses have prerequisites (e.g. you must be in your third year of study); some have a prerequisite of units of credit in the discipline. If you are interested in enrolling in a course for which you have not satisfied the prerequisites, contact the lecturer concerned.

Overseas Study Program

To fulfill the degree requirements of the Bachelor of International Studies program, all students must complete one year of overseas study (INST3101 and INST3102).
