Tetum is the language of Timor. The study of Tetum is essential for anyone wishing to understand Timor’s society, culture and history. The ANU is the only university in Australia where Tetum is taught, and students have the opportunity to complete a postgraduate specialisation. Timor is a close neighbour of Australia and ties between these countries are increasing through international security, trade and development projects. Students completing a specialisation in Tetum will be uniquely placed to engage with the Timorese people, state, and society. The four courses needed to complete the specialisation are not offered on campus, but are instead available 100% online and can be studied from anywhere. Students who complete the Tetum language specialisation will have obtained an intermediate level command of the Tetum language.
