Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies)
Asia is home to two-thirds of the world’s population and some of the most dynamic and fascinating societies on the planet. From cultures, history and politics, through to religion, gender and environmental issues, you can explore the issues facing Australia’s nearest neighbours.
This major provides knowledge and a solid basis for critically understanding the great diversity of cultures, societies and political systems of Asia, including China, Indonesia and Japan. It explores the impacts of the great religious and philosophical traditions of the region such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, and investigates the dramatic changes colonialism, revolutions and modernisation have brought to the region. You’ll examine topics as diverse as popular culture, gender relations, environmental issues, political transformations, the media and Australia’s relations with the region. This major does not require you to learn an Asian language.
