Recognising the role that the Southeast Asia plays for Australia and Singapore, the College of Asia and the Pacific and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS, NUS) offer a joint Masters degree program in Southeast Asian Studies commencing in Semester 1 (August to November) of the NUS academic year.

The joint degree is a prestige program. It offers the advantage of mutual exchange and collaboration between academic specialists in the partner institutions.

The program offers NUS students the opportunity to study under the guidance of ANU academics whose specialisation may not be available at NUS. In addition, NUS students will be able to tap into the extensive holdings of the Menzies Library and the Australian National Library in Canberra.

For their part, ANU students will benefit from taking NUS modules on Southeast Asia not offered in their home university and also from working with Southeast Asian Studies specialists at NUS. ANU students will be able to utilize the NUS and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) libraries.
