This program will no longer be offered to new students from January 2009

The four-year specialist degrees incorporating a Year in Asia are:

During the Year in Asia, students undertake an approved study package which includes the equivalent of two semesters (48u) at an overseas university or equivalent institution and may also include an individual study project or Faculty final assessment.

The Year in Asia is intended for talented and dedicated students. Minimum admission requirements are set at a higher level than for the three-year degree, and students are expected to complete the first two years of the degree program (three years for combined degrees) at least at credit level, to be eligible for selection to participate in the Year in Asia program. Selection for the program is approved by the Dean on advice from the relevant Centre head. Students who do not attain the required standard will be required to transfer to the three-year degree program. Conversely, students in the three-year degree who meet the required standard may apply to transfer to the four-year degree and participate in the Year in Asia.
