The Master’s programme in Asian Studies is a regionally-focused multidisciplinary program grounded in the Humanities and offered by the Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies. It is designed for students with backgrounds in Chinese, Japanese and Korean Studies who wish to broaden their understanding of East Asia.
The two-year programme combines a wide range of content courses with advanced language training. Fields of possible specialization of MA research projects include translation studies and linguistics, literature, visual and performing arts, media cultures, cultural heritage and modern policies.
The programme consists of four semesters of full-time studies.
During the first two semesters students take compulsory and elective courses (60 ECTS).
The third semester (30 ECTS) provides an opportunity for exchange studies at another university in East Asia or Europe, internships, or taking elective courses offered at the Department and across Stockholm University as well as other universities or institutions of higher education in Sweden (or a combination of these three options). The fourth semester is devoted to the degree project, which entails writing a master’s thesis (30 ECTS). The thesis writing and all course instructions are conducted in English.
With its flexible programme format, the MA in Asian Studies allows students to tailor their studies in accordance with their interests or career ambitions. The programme prepares students for a diversity of careers in the public and private sector that require analytical thinking, deep knowledge of East Asia and relevant language skills. The students who graduate from the programme are also eligible to proceed to third cycle education in Asian Studies.
The selection to the programme is based on the following five criteria: the specialization and grades of the Bachelor’s Programme studied, the quality and topic of the Bachelor’s Thesis, the motivation letter explaining the relevance of previous studies in relation to the programme, the reference letter as well as an interview that, however, will only be conducted if deemed necessary.
