You can explore subjects that span virtually entire region both in time and geography. This two-year research master's degree allows you to focus on a country or region such as China, Japan or Korea; or South or Southeast Asia; or on a discipline such as history, politics, international relations, political economy, literature or languages. A key feature is our comparative approach to learning, which includes intra-Asian comparisons, as well as comparisons of Asia with other regions in the world, such as, for example, the Middle East. The programme co-operates closely with the MA Middle Eastern Studies (research) programme: the programmes have the same structure and share two courses, a common introductory course on Area Studies and one on Methodologies in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
