Either Bahasa Indonesia or Thai or Vietnamese is required for students majoring in Southeast Asian Studies; French or German is required for European Studies majors; and Japanese for Japanese Studies majors. Other Arts and Cross-Faculty students may choose to read language modules as Unrestricted Electives outside of their major or as Breath modules outside their faculties respectively. Arts graduate students who need to learn a foreign language for the purpose of their studies or research may apply through their departments.

Students with previous knowledge of the language that they intend to study are required to take a test for advance placement and may be admitted into a module at a higher level. Students may contact the CLS for further information on the placement tests.
