Why study Indonesian? 

Indonesia is a country of more than 220 million people. It is our nearest neighbour and has a rich cultural, geographic and political history. Bahasa Indonesia is closely related to Malay and is a language of communication throughout the region, not only in Indonesia, but also Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.

Indonesia is undergoing a period of unprecedented political, social and economic change. Far-reaching reforms of Indonesia's political system and economy are happening with strong signs of genuinely democratic and participatory reform. Studying Indonesian language is a vital key to understanding our region. Our graduates are participating in these exciting changes and their skills are highly sought.

In-Country options

Flinders have arrangements with a number of Indonesian universities for a variety of in-country study options. These may be credited to a Flinders degree and some financial assistance is normally available. Flinders has joined other universities in the Australian Consortium for In-Country Indonesian Studies (ACICIS). This Consortium provides access to high-quality language study for one or two semester programs in Java. ACICIS employs an Australian Resident Director in Indonesia to assist students while there, and a secretariat organises visa applications and study program prior to departure.
