Course Information

The Bachelor of Arts is the most diverse, most flexible, and most popular degree at The Australian National University. Each of its some fifty majors, in fields throughout the arts, humanities and social sciences, is taught by truly outstanding scholars to ensure that each student receives the very best education, is engaged with cutting-edge research, and learns to think like a researcher. These majors can be coupled with more than seventy minors and specialisations to broaden or deepen your study. Regardless of your choices, your Arts degree will provide you with core skills in critical analysis and in written and oral communication, while developing your adaptability and ability to help shape change and prepare you for a multifaceted career or further study.

The Bachelor of Arts (with Year in Asia) is the perfect degree to establish yourself as a future leader in the Asian Century. You will combine study at ANU with one year at a university in an Asian location like Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul or Bangkok.

Your Year in Asia will build on the strengths of your Bachelor degree. You will develop an advanced level of language proficiency and an exceptional capacity to understand the societies and cultures of our region. You will study with world-class teachers at ANU and then put your learning into practice on the ground in Asia.

The Bachelor of Arts (with Year in Asia) requires completion of 192 units, of which:

A maximum of 60 units may come from completion of 1000-level courses

144 units from courses required for the completion of the Bachelor of Arts

48 units from the successful completion of the Year in Asia major, which must include 24 units of language study

Students will receive equivalent credit for the coursework that they pass at their host institution (as a part of the Year in Asia major) upon return to ANU. However, students who do not pass at least 75% of their coursework at the host institution will be required to transfer back into the degree from which they transferred into the Bachelor of Arts (with Year in Asia). Students transferring out of the Year in Asia must meet the program requirements for the degree into which they transfer and should be aware that it may not be possible to count all or any of this credit towards the degree into which they transfer.

The Bachelor of Arts (with Year in Asia) is taught primarily in English but also requires students to undertake study in a target Asian language.
