Stream Outline
The Asian Studies major stream aims to develop an effective understanding of the Asian region, drawing on the tools of several disciplines in order to:
- build knowledge of the different historical, political, economic, social, and cultural developments that have defined the region;
- encourage students to take an Asian language (an optional offer)
- develop students’ intellectual, creative and analytical skills; and to
- cultivate an Asia-literate graduate, with the skill set required for success in a world in which Asia is increasingly set to lead
- build knowledge of specific Asian countries
