Программа обучения Modern East Asian Studies

Учебный план программы обучения "Modern East Asian Studies"

YOUR FIRST YEAR

There will be four main components to your first year: language classes, core lectures, a research skills module and electives.

Language Classes

Depending on your academic background and language level, you'll take beginners' or advanced language classes in either Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese or Korean.

Core Lectures

We offer one core module consisting of four sub-modules - known as 'core lectures' - within the programme, of which you'll choose and take two. These lectures will help you develop your methodological knowledge of two core disciplines and learn to apply the concepts, theories and methods from these social-scientific fields to East Asian countries.

Each core lecture relates to one of our four main social science disciplines:

History: China's Great Transformations (Prof. Dr. Iwo Amelung)

Law: Theoretical Approaches to Law in East Asia (Prof. Dr. Moritz Bälz, LL.M.)

Management: Institutions and Innovation (Prof. Dr. Cornelia Storz)

Political Sciences: State–Society Relations in Greater China (Prof. Dr. Heike Holbig)

Research Skills

In preparation for writing your MA thesis in your second year, you will also take a research skills module, made up of the following two elements:

Young Scholars Forum (YSF): Alongside fellow MEAS students, you will discuss papers on a fascinating range of topics, such as gender, sustainability and mobility in East Asia, from different disciplinary perspectives.

Skills & Competences (S&C): In these seminars, you will deepen your knowledge of the different methods used in social sciences and East Asia-related humanities.

Electives

There are also optional modules, known as 'electives'. You'll take two electives if you're a beginner in the language you're studying or four if you're an advanced language learner.

In these electives, you'll consider empirical phenomena relating to one East Asian country from a social-scientific perspective. Per semester, there is at least one elective for each of the four countries/regions covered by the programme.

YOUR SECOND YEAR

In your third semester, you will follow one of three possible pathways, known as 'study tracks' (see below). In your fourth semester, you will work on your MA thesis, culminating in an MA colloquium.

Language Options

Developing your language skills is a core aspect of the MEAS programme because we want you to be able to read source texts and conduct interviews in the language you're studying.

With one exception, all of our language classes are taught in English:

• beginners'/advanced Chinese (English)
• beginners'/advanced Indonesian (English)
• beginners'/advanced Japanese (English)
• beginners'/advanced Korean (in some semesters taught in German)

To take an advanced language course, you will need to have achieved the following (or equivalent):

• Chinese: HSK4, 160 points or above
• Indonesian: BA in Southeast Asian Studies (at least 200 hours of Bahasa Indonesia)
• Japanese: JLPT N3
• Korean: TOPIK3

Please note that if you speak Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese or Korean as your native language, you cannot enrol in an advanced language course in that language. If you have already reached a higher level in a language than we offer, you will have the chance to take beginners' classes in a new East Asian language.

Факультет

Методика оценки заявок
