ORDINARY DEGREE
The courses offered in the Department of Indonesian and Malayan Studies are.
designed to constitute an "area study" embracing Indonesian language and also the history, culture, and social, political and economic background to present-day Indonesia and Malaysia. The first year will be solely devoted to language study; in the later years, each subject will include both the "area study" content and continued work in Bahasa Indonesia, the two parts being woven together as closely as possible.
Indonesian I will be a pre-requisite for entry to Indonesian and Malayan Studies A ( which will begin in 1966) and both will be pre-requisites for Indonesian and Malayan Studies B and C. Although Indonesian I will be a Group I subject and the others Group 5 subjects, it will be permissible to combine these to form a major.
Indonesian Studies part III will not be offered after 1966.
