In the Chinese Studies academic programme, students learn about both traditional and contemporary aspects of China, including the role played by China in the greater world and the associated diversified exchange processes that link both China’s history and its present-day existence to other regions.
Students in the Master’s degree programme in Chinese Studies will receive instruction in in-depth research methods as well as in subject-specific content in Sinology, including their application in scientific practice. The course content of this degree programme stems from and is shaped by a deep intellectual curiosity about foreign cultures, within which, however, China (including both Taiwan and Greater China) is not viewed as isolated research object within the East Asian region. Regional aspects will also be examined in equal depth. The focus of this consecutive Master’s degree programme is therefore the examination of specific China-related topics on the basis of knowledge of the entire region.
Research questions investigated by the student will include the areas of language, culture and literary studies as well as sociological-historical topics within Chinese Studies. As China specialists, graduates of this degree programme will have obtained a comprehensive, transcultural, and comparative understanding of Chinese culture and society. Students will expand their previously-acquired knowledge and skills, strengthen their linguistic ability, and pursue topics of particular personal interest in the areas of culture, literature, and sociological-historical topics.
It is mandatory to choose a minor subject in combination with this Master programme. For further information please refer to the Examination Rules and Regulations.
