Year in Asia Disclaimer: Applicants are advised that due to circumstances beyond the University’s control (for example: specific international security concerns, international health crises) it may not be possible for students to commence or complete their Year-in-Asia requirement either within the minimum time for completion of their degree, or, the maximum time for completion of their degree. Should these circumstances occur, the Faculty will offer compensating program/s, but not programs leading to the Year-in-Asia qualification. In these very unusual circumstances (which have not occurred in the 12 year life of the program) reversion to the standard Bachelor of Asian Studies may be necessary.
