Indonesian language courses

In Austronesian Studies we focus on teaching the Indonesian standard variant of Malay. Compared to other standard variants of Malay that are spoken in Malaysia, Singapore or Brunei, the situation is similar to German as spoken in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

As a major student in the Bachelor program you will follow 6 (six) semesters of Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia), introducing you to the sound system, syntax, word formation and other parts of the grammar. No language course is offered at the graduate level.
