Международный обмен по программе обучения "Modern East Asian Studies"

Not obligatory. However, we encourage in particular those students who do not have extended experience of living in East Asia to study in the country of interest. Students can apply to study for one term at one of our partner universities in East Asia in their 2nd semester of MA MEAS. Places are highly limited and allocated according to internal priority guidelines.

For students who have no experience in Asia, a semester abroad is strongly recommended. The semester abroad can be arranged in the 2nd Semester (MEAS). The semester abroad should be planned with the coordinator and a mentor, so that no loss of time arises. The university supports the search for a place of study abroad. However, a claim for allocation of a study place abroad does not exist. The same semester is also the most appropriate time to do an internship in Germany or abroad.

Учебный план программы обучения "Modern East Asian Studies"

The one-year MA program MA MEAS offers Advanced Chinese, Japanese or Korean language and the choice of a discipline (sociology, political science or economics). The program combines advanced language skills with interdisciplinary and discipline-specific modules focusing on Chinese, Japanese and Korean studies. Its aim is to deepen and enrich students’ skills in assessing contemporary change, the challenges facing the East Asian region and the implications of such developments for Europe.

Semester 1: Students deepen their Chinese, Japanese and Korean language skills by focusing on reading, writing and discussing on advanced level. Additionally, students choose three out of approx. ten Advanced East Asian Studies (AEAS) modules, complemented by one elective module, after an individual mentoring session with the coordinator or their academic advisor.

Semester 2: Students concentrate on writing their Master’s thesis. The thesis is an independent piece of research about a cutting-edge topic on contemporary East Asia. It is intended to provide evidence of the student’s newly acquired knowledge, theoretical and methodological skills in East Asian regional studies, and language proficiency.
