De specialisatie South East Asia is speciaal bedoeld voor studenten die geïnteresseerd zijn in één of meerdere aspecten van Zuid Azië, zoals de geschiedenis, literatuur, kunst en kunstgeschiedenis, media en cultuurstudie, godsdienstwetenschappen, filosofie of filologie.
De expertise binnen de specialisatie South East Asia ligt in Leiden bij India en Sri Lanka.
The programme allows students either to emphasise language and a single country study, or a specific discipline and region, especially since many courses examine regional issues that extend beyond the study of a single country or language. The programme’s modular structure with elective courses and an individually supervised thesis allows students a considerable degree of freedom and individual specialisation.
The specialisation gives students ample opportunity either to deepen their classical or modern language learning started at BA level, or, if they wish, to start with the relevant modern languages.
Prior knowledge of a classical or modern South Asian language is not required, but students have the option of taking an intensive modern language course at beginner’s level in Japanese, Indonesian, Chinese, Korean or Hindi.
