Plan Outline


NOTE: THIS PLAN IS ONLY FOR STUDENTS COMMENCING FROM 2008 ONWARDS.

The study of Asian societies and Asian languages is increasingly important for Australia and Australians. Australia's future will increasingly be determined by social, economic and political engagement with the diverse nations and peoples of Asia. East Asia and Southeast Asia are inextricably linked to Australia by trade and investment, migration, security cooperation, and international education and cultural exchanges.

The Bachelor of International Studies in Asian Studies degree is an integrated program combining study in Asian Studies, International Studies and Languages, together with a program of study at a UNSW approved partner university completed during the third and fourth years of study.
