About
The Bachelor of Asia-Pacific Affairs provides students with an in-depth exploration of Asia-Pacific regional affairs, drawing on the strength of ANU in four different subject and disciplinary areas, including politics and government; international relations and security; conflict and peacebuilding; history and cultural identity.
This innovative program will give students a unique opportunity to understand the transnational forces and contemporary challenges facing the Asia-Pacific region, and to deepen their understanding and appreciation of different Asia-Pacific cultures.
The program will facilitate a cross-crediting arrangement with Ritsumeikan University (RU) in Japan that will allow for student mobility in both directions. Students who study at both ANU and RU will, upon successful completion (and with cross-crediting), be eligible for the Bachelor of Asia-Pacific Affairs (ANU) and the Bachelor of Global Liberal Arts (RU). Students will be required to undertake two years of study at ANU and two years of study at RU. Study at RU will be in English.
This program will admit up to 10 students per year to begin studies in semester 1 at ANU's Acton campus.
