Study Options in Indonesia
 Flexible Immersion at Universitas Gadjah
Mada (UGM)
While ACICIS options are constantly developing
and expanding, most ACICIS students usually choose the Flexible Immersion option in their first semester of
study at Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, and typically (though not compulsory)
spend their second semester at Universitas Muhammadiyah in Malang, East Java. The program at UGM allows students to choose a mix of Indonesian language and other regular UGM curriculum subjects according to thelanguage ability and interest of the student.
Field Study at Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UnMuh)
ACICIS offers advanced language students capable of independent study the opportunity to undertake field research through Universitas Muhammadiyah, Malang. Students usually undertake the Field Study option following a semester at UGM, though it is possible to do it in their first semester. Students devise and undertake their own study projects,and a number of students have incorporated their projects into an undergraduate honours program with the approval of their home university.
Islamic Studies at Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII)
ACICIS offers a semester-long program on Islamic Studies with the option to specialise in Islamic Business, Islamic Law or Islamic Society. Subjects such as Syariah Financial Accounting, Islamic Thought & Civilization and Islamic Criminal Law are taught in English at Universitas Islam Indonesia in Yogyakarta. No background in Indonesian language is required and students will be assigned an Indonesian tutor/translator to help them navigate life in Indonesia. Students are able to learn Indonesian language and/or Arabic and undertake an internship at an Islamic organisation.
Journalism Professional Practicum at Universitas Atma
Jaya (UAJ)
The Journalism Professional Practicum is designed to provide students of journalism, media and communications studies, and cadet journalists, who may not necessarily have Indonesian language skills or experience in Indonesia, with the opportunity to live and work in the diverse and dynamic media scene of the bustling capital, Jakarta. It is a six-week program, undertaken during January and February.
Indonesian Arts at Universitas Seni Indonesia (ISI)
The Indonesian Arts study option is available for advanced language students at the Indonesian Institute of Arts in Yogyakarta, one of Indonesia’s premier institutions for the performing and visual arts. Students can study gamelan, wayang kulit, dance, theatre, art, sculpture and many other subjects. This study option is not just open to Australian students, but also to performers and teachers from Australia or anywhere else in the world. Subjects are taken in Indonesian so a certain level of Indonesian language is required.
Development Studies Professional Practicum
The Development Studies Professional Practicum (DSPP) provides an opportunity for students to gain valuable experience working in the field of international development while at the same time learning about development issues in a country that, with tens of millions of poor people and large endowments of natural resources, is central to global efforts to reduce poverty and promote sustainable development. The program includes intensive Indonesian language classes, lectures by international experts and a supervised internship at a development NGO. Students can choose a six-week summer program in Jakarta or a semester-long program in Yogyakarta.
International Relations at Universitas Parahyangan (UnPar)
Capitalising on its reputation as one of the foremost International Relations departments in Indonesia, the Department of International Relations at Parahyangan University (UnPar) in Bandung, West Java, will offer an International Relations Program (IRP) to ACICIS students from 2010. The IRP will use English as the medium of instruction and therefore offers a unique opportunity for non-Indonesian speakers to study in-country. Participants will gain an Asian perspective on the world and its affairs whilst developing the critical analytical skills so important in the modern world.
