Offered By	ANU College of Asia and the Pacific

Because the value of languages only arises with an understanding of the context in which they are used, students will also choose a Contextual major. Students of the Japanese language, whilst it is not mandatory that they do so, are encouraged to choose the Japanese Contextual Major.

Requirements

Each Contextual major is made up of eight courses comprising:

• two introductory level courses:
• One of these must be ASIA1025 Individual and Society in Asia and the Pacific A

• two core courses from the contextual Major:
• ASIA2058 Modern Japanese Culture
• ASIA2009 Modern Japanese Society

• two to three ASIA courses directly related to the area of the major

• two other courses (not necessarily from FAS) that fit broadly into the major.
• Relevant courses, while broadly understood, will be confirmed by an academic advisor or the Sub-Dean.

There is no indicative list of courses that can count towards this major, as students are encouraged to design their own major, with input and advice from an academic advisor.
