First Year Indonesian Enrolment and Placement Interviews

The Indonesian Studies Program conducts placement interviews for all students who have had previous experience studying Indonesian or Malay, including students whose first language is Indonesian or Malay. Based on these interviews you will be placed in the appropriate level for your language and learning background. 

If you have no previous experience studying Indonesian or Malay you can enrol directly in Indonesian 1 (ATS1111) and do not require a placement interview.

Students with previous experience in Indonesian or Malay may enrol in an Indonesian language unit but these enrolments will be considered provisional until students have completed the placement interview. 

Placement Interviews for First Semester 2011

Indonesian Placement Interviews consist of a) a general written survey - approximately 15-20 minutes and b) an interview which can be done in pairs or individually - approximately 10 minutes. Both are conducted in Indonesian.

The Placement Interviews for 2012 will be held on Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th February, from 10am to 4pm in Room W315.

No dictionaries or other materials are required.
