Carlos Greco

Master in Asian Studies

"My experience in the Asian Studies Master's program at Catolica has been dynamic to say the least. This branch of study has opened up new ways to approach the subject. The Portuguese Catholic University offers a dynamic and multicultural environment, it is amazing how many people from all over Europe, Asia, and Africa can be found on campus, with whom you can live and exchange. The academic section of my faculty is well qualified, they are professionals with high knowledge in the subjects taught. Our professors always invite us to investigate and understand topics that concern us or are relevant to the matter, providing perspectives, knowledge, and experiences, easing the approach to more complex topics".

Master in Asian Studies

“The Master’s Degree in Asian Studies constitutes an absolutely decisive experience. This program, somewhat like the image of Asia, is characterised by the diversity of its intrinsic capacity to generate returns. I have the pleasure to engage with colleagues from the most varied fields of study and the teaching staff that foster interdisciplinary dialogues, converging within a stimulating learning environment that provides all the tools so that we are now and into the future able to intervene in, for, about or from Asia.”

“A year ago, after completing my degree in Germany, I searched for a Master’s degree where I could learn more about Asia. Since I did not have a background that focused on this area during my undergraduate degree, it was not possible for me to remain in Germany.
Fortunately, I decided to spend a year in Portugal before resuming my studies and discovered the Master’s degree in Asian Studies at FCH-Católica, which quickly caught my attention for being exactly what I wished to study. So far, the degree has exceeded my expectations and I could not have chosen better!”

“I came to Lisbon to attend the Master’s Degree in Asian Studies with many expectations, and this degree has surpassed them. In it, I found a diverse and challenging environment, with proposals for debate that lead to reflection and invite us to leave old notions behind and to look at Asia as it is. As a Brazilian student of Japanese descent, it has been very interesting to follow the discussions from both perspectives and the experience has certainly proved to be very enriching.”

Master in Asian Studies

"Since starting my higher education 5 years ago, I always knew that I wanted to study a master's in Asian studies. The question was just where. I looked around and then found FCH, the application process was easy and during the interview, I felt very welcomed. On my first day, I met all of my classmates, who are all wonderful people. We each have a different background so helping each other out is something that we do daily. The professors are also always there to answer any questions, give feedback, and give the most amazing classes".
