An exciting new degree designed specifically for those who want to understand the dramatic development of East Asia and its place in the Global Economy. Explore the way in which globalisation has impacted on East Asia and the consequences for the rest of the world that are flowing from East Asian development.

This programme aims to develop your interest in and knowledge and understanding of the economic, cultural and social transformations of the East Asian region. In particular it will explore the development of East Asia within the wider global economy, the changing and contrasting fortunes of the key economies in the region, the specific features of the business and commercial sectors in the region and the developing patterns of trade within East Asia and between East Asian nations and other regions of the world. Optional modules will offer more detailed examination of developments in the Japanese and Chinese economies and the political and economic relations between Europe and East Asia.

In term three we aim to provide opportunities to work or study in East Asia (this may incur additional charges).
