Indonesian Studies enable students to explore the fascinating linguistic and cultural heritage of one of Australia's closest neighbours, and develop effective communication skills in Indonesian language, which is spoken by around 200 million people worldwide.

At UNSW, Indonesian Studies combines the teaching of practical language skills with the study of Indonesian 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, interpretation and the media.
