Program Requirements

Joining the ANU Asian Studies Honours Program from the ANU

The Faculty welcomes enquiries from ANU students considering transferring to one of our Asian Studies degrees and the Honours Program, before the Honours Year. ANU students normally undertake their Honours Year after the final year in a pass degree; however, preparation for Honours begins after the first year in the Faculty. The Honours Year is the year in which a limited amount of advanced coursework and the research dissertation leading to the thesis is done. From 2000 ANU students joining the Honours Program will be strongly encouraged to take a special pre-Honours course in the Faculty as part of their pass degree in Asian Studies before the Honours Year. Students interested in the Honours Year may apply in writing to through the Faculty Office. Please read the Prospective Honours Students page before you apply.

Joining the Honours Year from other Universities

The Honours Committee welcomes enquiries about the Honours Year from students enrolled in other Universities, particularly if they have completed or are in the process of completing a degree with Asian language and other Asian Studies components comparable to the ANU degree. Intending students are urged to make initial contact with the Honours Convener, presently Dr Li Narangoa. Applications are made on the Application for Undergraduate Entry form. These are available from the ANU web-site
