Prerequisites

The ANU Honours Year in Asian Studies is open to all who have an academic record at a distinction (70%) level or better. Before the year starts, you must have the language skills to read the material on which you will be working. Imperfect knowledge of a relevant Asian language makes it difficult to skim read reference material and / or produce accurate, polished and timely translations of passages to be included in your thesis. You will also need a good grounding in the intellectual discipline(s) within which you will be doing the research and writing the thesis
