Chinese Studies, Master of Arts (MA)

["The Master of Arts programme in Chinese Studies is research-focused. Students may choose one of two tracks as a study focus: "Heritage and Innovation" or "Transformation in Contemporary China". Both tracks offer intensive language training in modern Chinese, pre-modern Chinese and Japanese. Lectures and courses in the Heritage and Innovation track concentrate on societal and cultural transformation from the late Tang to the late Qing dynasty (800 to 1900). The Transformation in Contemporary China track offers modules on contemporary politics in transformation, societal modernisation, and the political economy of transition. Methodological training for both the pre-modern and the contemporary Chinese studies track is integrated in every semester."]
