Deepening Australia’s engagement with southeast Asia is a national priority. Through trade, education, business, tourism and family connections, Australia’s relationship with the region is of enormous importance.
At a global level, Asia is a transformative power.
This three-year degree offers you the opportunity to study the politics, history, societies, economies, media and religions of the Asian region. It's also possible to combine an Asian Studies major with a second major (or minor) in Indonesian or Japanese language to broaden your horizons even further!
If you love to travel, you can study with our international partners in southeast Asia and gain credit for your Murdoch degree.
Asian Studies helps you resolve complex issues in Australian and Asian contexts. Working with world-leading scholars of the Asia region, you’ll develop important cross-cultural skills, knowledge and analytical proficiency that are valued by government and other employers.
