Semester in Asia is a highly flexible course designed for students to undertake a range of studies at an ANU exchange partner for up to six months and count it towards the completion of ANU majors, minors or electives. Students can nominate to undertake disciplinary studies in English, as well as language studies or disciplinary studies in their target language.
Semester in Asia is a variable unit course, so it can accommodate a breakdown of disciplinary or language studies to count towards Asia Pacific Studies majors, minors or electives, or it can accommodate partial credit if students are nominating to split their semester exchange program across two degrees.
Students can apply to undertake Semester in Asia at any ANU exchange partner in Asia. Students who wish to undertake a semester of exchange outside the Asia region are encouraged to apply for the Global Semester course. A full list of ANU exchange partners can be found at: http://students.anu.edu.au/think/global.php
As part of the application process, students will be asked to outline how the proposed study at the ANU exchange partner will count towards the majors, minors and/or electives in their ANU degree(s).
