De specialisatie Southeast Asia is speciaal bedoeld voor studenten die geïnteresseerd zijn in één of meerdere aspecten van Zuid-Oost Azië, zoals geschiedenis, literatuur, kunst en kunstgeschiedenis, media en cultuurstudie, godsdienstwetenschappen, filosofie of filologie.
De expertise binnen de specialisatie Southeast Asia in Leiden ligt bij Indonesië, maar omvat ook de andere landen in Zuid-Oost Azië.
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 go 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 classical or modern language learning started at BA level, or, if they wish, to start with the relevant modern languages. Students have the option of taking an intensive modern Indonesian language course. Knowledge of the Indonesian language is required for some, but not all, courses.
MA in Asian Studies
The one-year MA in Asian Studies allows students to specialise in pre-modern history, modern history, art and art history, linguistics, literature, religious studies and philosophy, sociology, development studies, media studies, political science and international relations, and anthropology. The many courses and specialisations of the programme cater for students with many different backgrounds and study aims, including those without knowledge of one or more Asian languages.
