East Asian focus in the Masters course

In an average of four semesters, the Master of East Asian Studies combines theories and analytical tools from politics, economics, and cultural studies. You cope with the different approaches of East Asian foreign affairs and security policies, governments and diplomacy, economic systems or certain cultural aspects. While you do not pursue an academic qualification in one discipline, you learn to regard the greater context of East Asian societies in the different sectors. Some universities emphasize particular countries, such as China or Japan, others allow for your own individual choice as a study focus.

Moreover, each Master of East Asian Studies contains language courses which you can often choose yourself. The assortment ranges from Chinese, Japanese, or Hindu to Korean. By choosing one particular language, you can individualise your study to a certain degree.

Masters careers in or associated with East Asia

As an admission criterion, you need to have accomplished an undergraduate degree in economics, politics or cultural studies. Your undergraduate qualification, therefore, plays a role in your range of career prospects, once you have accomplished the Master of East Asian Studies. If your individual focus is economically-oriented, your career opportunities lie in consultancies, international marketing, international management or sales. If your interests lie in the political sphere, you may well find your future job in an international organisations, government departments or diplomatic institutes. A cultural focus in your undergraduate and postgraduate path generates most job opportunities. However, cultural institutes, departments or even museums represent alternate perspectives. Independent of your study focus, you can opt for a career in the research sector, as a researcher, teacher or academic professional.
