The study program consists of the 6 courses mentioned above, of which you are expected to choose at least 5. One completed course is worth 3 credits, which is most often converted to 5 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) study credits or 3 US credit points.
The program introduces the students to economics, business, trade, culture, language, and tourism with Asia as the central region. The students will also be able to interact with locals and fellow international students. The course lecturers are experienced with international backgrounds.
In addition to the above-mentioned courses, Udayana University offers other courses to international students. However, the teaching language for these courses is typically Bahasa Indonesia and the courses are held by different faculties for a separate fee. You can ask about taking additional courses after arriving in Indonesia, because it’s easier to make arrangements face to face.
