MA/MS in Asian Studies (120EC)

The programme lets students deepen their understanding of Asia through the lens of specific disciplines, strengthen their language proficiency, and build a critical perspective on the region. The structure includes one-year regional tracks covering East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, together with a Global Asia specialisation, each centred on particular themes, issues, and connections specific to the region, alongside two-year specialisations in China, Japan, or Korea that form part of a selective track including a year abroad combining intensive language study with field research. An expansive curriculum and flexible formats let students shape their qualification around their own interests or career goals, whether that means a narrow focus on one language and country, or a broader one centred on a discipline and region, with many programmes aimed at developing fluency in a classical or modern language and the option of an intensive modern Indonesian course.
