Course content

The Master’s Programme in Global Asian Studies offers an in-depth and multidisciplinary exploration of one of the world’s most dynamic regions. It provides a broad understanding of Asia’s politics, societies, economies, histories, and cultures, and examines how interactions between Asia and the wider world are mutually influential. Combining empirical study, with theoretical and critical analysis, the programme prepares students for professional work and academic research in fields related to Asia’s global significance.

The programme imparts students with deep knowledge of this important region of the world, preparing them for specialized work and doctoral studies. Through fieldwork, exchange studies and internship it primes students to become practitioners in the public, private or nongovernmental sectors of the job market. The programme provides a two-year master's degree in Global Asian Studies and is given by Stockholm Center for Global Asia at the Department of Political Science, in collaboration with the Department of Social Anthropology and teachers from the Department of Law.
