Language students
Students interested in studying a language at the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific have a number of options open to them in either an Undergraduate (ie, Bachelor degree or Diploma) or a Graduate (ie, Master degree) program. While students enrolling 'large enrolment' languages (Chinese and Japanese) must meet normal entry requirements for their chosen program(see Undergraduate or Graduate coursework), there are also alternative study paths for students wishing to study 'small enrolment' languages such as Javanese, Sanskrit, Tetum, Thai or Vietnamese.
Small enrolment languages
The College has several small enrolment language programs, often offering tuition in languages that does not exist elsewhere in Australia. These include:
Students wishing to study these languages often may not want to enrol in a whole degree and/or may not meet the usual admission requirements for a degree. Therefore, to maximise enrolments in these languages, several options have been developed to allow potential students in one or both of these categories to be admitted to and enrol in small language programs.
In order to determine which enrolment option is best for you, you can either browse through the 'Small enrolment language programs' menu on the right of this page, or follow the questions and links below:
