Учебный план программы обучения "Global East Asia"

The MAGEA program covers three main parts consisting of several modules, one module consists of one or two seminars. The “Integrative Area Global East Asia” is compulsory for all MAGEA students. In the consolidation area, three modules must be completed. Students have to select modules from at least two of the three regional specializations Chinese, Japanese or Korean Studies. The program concludes with a master thesis. For the three modules in the complimentary area, students are advised to deepen their language skills in Chinese, Korean or Japanese. Students may also choose modules from other master’s programs offered at Freie Universität Berlin, such as Political Science, Sociology or Global History. When choosing modules in the complementary area, it is recommended to consult an program's academic advisor.

Program Modules

The integrative modules in MAGEA’s program provide on one hand a wide-ranging overview of the evolution of international relations in the region as well as transregional economic, cultural, and social developments since the interwar period. Particular emphasis will be placed in the module Introduction to Contemporary History and Discourses in East Asia on the underlying structures that have constituted East Asia as a unitary space, as well as the political, economic, and cultural barriers that have impeded its further unification.

Within the module Introduction to Research Fields in Global East Asia, you will also gain a broad overview of research on East Asia. This part will focus on paradigms and theories that are particularly relevant to the study of the political, economic, and social contexts of East Asia. In particular, relevant methods of the respective regional areas as well as possibilities of combining regional areas for the purpose of interdisciplinary research will be introduced and trained.

Moreover, you will learn central methods for researching issues in contemporary East Asia from a transnational and global perspective. The module Interdisciplinary Methods aims at teaching students a variety of methodological approaches and their applicability for the analysis of the research topic. Students will be guided to compare the effects of interdisciplinary processes with regard to East Asia in a differentiated way. They will practice the independent analysis of problems from a cross-disciplinary and cross-regional perspective while applying interdisciplinary theories and methods.

In the Consolidation Area, you will complete three modules, whereby you can choose two modules in an area of specialization (Japanology, Chinese or Korean Studies). Additionally, you must complete a number of complementary modules. These can be modules from other Master's programs, but you can also choose language modules from Bachelor's or Master's programs on East Asia. When choosing modules in the complementary area, we highly recommend consulting a faculty advisor.
