Short Term Study Abroad - ACICIS Language Program - New Colombo Plan
The Australian Consortium for ‘In-Country’ Indonesian Studies (ACICIS) is an innovative, non-profit, national educational consortium that was established in 1994 to overcome the substantial academic, bureaucratic, and immigration impediments that had prevented Australian students from undertaking credited semester study at Indonesian universities. Today ACICIS runs the Study Indonesia Program (SIP) which consists of a variety of study options in Indonesia and is also open to non-Australians and private individuals.
New Colombo Plan mobility grant ($3,000) is available to undergraduate Macquarie University students wishing to attend the Indonesian Language Short Course (ILSC). No background in Indonesian language is required to take part in this program. By completing this program, students will gain INTS103 (or INTS209 - TBC).
The Indonesian Language Short Course (ILSC) provides intensive language training to students from beginners to advanced level in Indonesian language. Running in the university vacation periods, the program would either fast-track or supplement a student’s language studies or could be taken as an introduction or a ‘taster’ to the Indonesian language and culture for students exploring an interest in Indonesia.
