East Asian Studies (MSc)
University of Edinburgh · Edinburgh, United Kingdom
About this programme
East Asian countries are inseparably linked by their politics, histories, societies and cultures. Our MSc programme in East Asian Studies is distinct for its border-crossing focus, enabling you to take a transnational and comparative approach to East Asian Studies, or to concentrate on China, Japan or Korea.With two of the world’s leading economic powers situated in East Asia, there is huge potential for both regional conflict and cooperation. Taking East Asian Studies is as relevant and critical now as it has been at any time since the end of World War II.Programme
