Graduates of the one-year M.A. in Contemporary Southeast Asia will be able to engage with ongoing global issues about the region, equipped with robust knowledge, sharp analytical skills and well-honed cross-cultural competencies. Students will gain integrated, interdisciplinary insights into Southeast Asia. All students will read two core modules, covering: the history, economics, and politics of the region and the region’s diverse social, religious and cultural landscapes. In addition, students will choose one of three thematic concentrations, which offer relevant lenses through which to analyse the challenges of our times: Natural Environment; Cultural Landscapes; AND Political Economy.
