Training Experts on East Asia
Discipline-Based Knowledge + Language Skills + Regional Expertise
IN-EAST offers a range of study programs focusing on contemporary East Asian societies and economies. Students specialize in either China, Japan or Korea, acquire or improve their skills in an East Asian language, undergo methodological training, and benefit from the transfer of regional expertise.
Das IN-EAST bietet verschiedene Studiengänge an, die sich mit den heutigen Gesellschaften und Wirtschaftssystemen Ostasiens beschäftigen. Studierende spezialisieren sich wahlweise auf China, Japan oder Korea und eignen sich eine ostasiatische Sprache an oder verbessern ihre Sprachkenntnisse. Darüber hinaus erhalten sie eine fundierte Ausbildung in einer Methodendisziplin und in den ostasiatischen Regionalstudien.
Der Bachelor Moderne Ostasienstudien (BA MOAS) bietet die Möglichkeit, Regionalwissen, eine fundierte Ausbildung in einer Fachdisziplin und Fremdsprachenkenntnisse zu erwerben, die im integrierten Auslandsjahr vertieft werden.
Der im Studienverlauf intensiv vorbereitete Aufenthalt in China, Japan oder Korea bietet zudem die Chance, interkulturelle Fähigkeiten zu erwerben und wertvolle persönliche Erfahrungen zu machen.
The Master’s in Contemporary East Asian Studies (MA CEAS) is an English-taught social science-based program with a contemporary and interdisciplinary profile. It offers research-focused training for highly qualified graduates with a BA or similar in the social sciences or economics.
Students on the MA CEAS program focus on the Chinese, Japanese or Korean language and specialize in social sciences or economics, combining intensive language training with interdisciplinary and discipline-specific modules on East Asia.
The Master’s Program in Modern East Asian Studies (MA MEAS) is designed for students with a BA in East Asian regional studies or East Asian language studies.
It aims to train students in the theoretical and problem-centered analysis of East Asian societies, politics and economies in order to build their skills in assessing contemporary change processes in the region. Proficiency in an East Asian language is also developed.
The Research Training Group GRK 2833 East Asian Futures: Visions and Realizations on National, Transregional and Global Scales (EAF) aims to train doctoral researchers about conceptions relating to the future in East Asia. It is based at the Faculty of East Asian Studies of Ruhr University Bochum and at the Institute of East Asian Studies of the University of Duisburg-Essen, joined together in the research initiative Alliance for Research on East Asia (AREA) Ruhr.
The programme develops and applies an analytical model of conceptions of the future, complementing research in the humanities (history, linguistics, philology, religious studies) with research in the social sciences (economics, political science, sociology).
