Asia Pacific Studies
Since the 1980s awareness of the importance of Australia's
role in the Asia-Pacific has led to the University of Wollongong
giving priority to the study of the region and our place in
it. Trade, culture, history, politics, economics and language
have all received attention, with particular focus on Southeast
Asia and Japan.
The following subjects have been approved for inclusion in
the Major in Asia-Pacific Studies because they reflect the
particular areas of expertise at the University of Wollongong:
the understanding of development in the Asia-Pacific, the
interaction of culture, language and politics in the region
and intensive study of the Japanese language.
Major Study
A major study in Asia-Pacific Studies for the Bachelor of
Arts degree requires the completion of a minimum of 52 credit
points from the subjects listed below, including all core
subjects. At least 24 credit points must be at 300-level.
This interdisciplinary major may be taken as a single major
study, but its flexibility makes it a useful component in
a double-major. Students should plan their degree programs
carefully, bearing in mind the need to satisfy subject prerequisites
particularly at 200- and 300-levels.
