Electives

The Doctoral Program in Indonesian Literature offers two main areas of concentration (specialization) to facilitate students' research focus. Students can choose the path that best suits their interests and dissertation plans.

Both specializations share the same foundational courses in Semester 1 (Theory Construction, Research Methods, Advanced Linguistic & Literary Theories). The difference in focus is emphasized through specialized courses in Semester 2.

The final stage (Semesters 3-4) follows a common path for both, focusing on the Research Results Seminar, Publication, and Dissertation.
