The Master in Asian Studies (MAS) is taught in English and is aimed at graduates interested in deepening their knowledge of Asian societies, cultures and political systems of Asia and its major historical and cultural references. The MAS also seeks to highlight Asia's role in the international global framework, including business, diplomacy, cultural exchanges, regional conflicts, human rights and environmental challenges.
The MAS has an interdisciplinary profile and relies on an international body of specialised teachers/researchers. The programme's teaching staff has scientific dialogue and cooperation links, either individually or institutionally, with Western and Asian institutions, which can enhance the internationalisation of the programme and its students.
MAS students may apply for one-semester mobility programmes at Asian universities in China (including Macao and Hong Kong), Japan and the Republic of Korea. Mobility takes place in the 1st semester of the 2nd of the programme.
The Master in Asian Studies aims to provide:
- Beginner-level training in Asian languages (namely Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and intermediate and advanced language training tutorials.
- Develop social and cultural skills for dealing with Asian interlocutors (universities, governments, economic agents, cultural institutions, NGOs, etc.).
- Strengthen professional skills for providing information about Asian societies and cultures in various professional and research areas.
- Develop a critical and problematizing reading of the theoretical frameworks surrounding Asian Studies.
- Promote the capacity to develop autonomous and original teaching and research activities on Asian topics.
