The Australian Government considers Indonesian one of a select number of strategically important languages, meaning proficiency in the language is especially in-demand across a wide range of roles in government, diplomacy and defence.
In addition, Indonesia’s emergence as one of the world’s largest and most dynamic markets is making language skills invaluable for young Australians seeking careers in international business, education, media, tourism, research and development.
With a Indonesian major, you’ll have the freedom to shape your own path in life. You’ll be studying towards an amazing career, like one of these:
International trade specialist
An International trade specialist supports businesses in navigating global markets by providing expertise in export/import regulations, trade compliance, and international marketing strategies. They analyse global economic trends, negotiate trade deals, and help businesses identify opportunities abroad. Their role is essential in minimising risks, ensuring legal compliance, and maximising the success of international trade operations.
English as an additional language teacher
An EAL teacher helps non-native English speakers improve their English skills to succeed in academic or social settings. They create lessons tailored to learners' language levels, focusing on reading, writing, speaking and listening. EAL teachers also support integration by building learners’ confidence and cultural understanding, often working in schools or adult education.
