The program is able to draw on the expertise of a great range of scholars specialising in various disciplines and countries of the region from all parts of the university. This means that graduates from all disciplines may apply for admission. The Graduate Diploma consists of 6 units of coursework. The coursework units in the Southeast Asian Studies postgraduate degrees include language units relevant to the applicant's interests and needs, a compulsory unit on the concept of Southeast Asia as a region of study, and a strong selection of elective units.

The Program interacts with discipline-based programs elsewhere in the Graduate School and students enrolled in the Southeast and South Asia Program may be affiliated to a related Program where such interaction would be of benefit to their research. Through its teaching, seminars, supervision and research the program trains specialists on Southeast and South Asia in the wide range of disciplinary, language and area skills essential for a better understanding of the rapid social, political and economic changes in the region.
