Our PhD East Asian Studies programme enables you do important and original research on an area of interest about the East Asian region, broadly defined. This includes south-east Asia, especially when related to cultures that use Chinese writing characters. You will do this while going beyond cultural boundaries. You will use the academic specialism and guidance of scholars in East Asian Studies to engage with academic topics in the region. We have academics with a range of interests within Chinese Studies and Japanese Studies, as well as language teaching teams in Chinese and Japanese. Our staff can offer postgraduate supervision in a variety of areas. This includes research specialisms related to: religion, education, popular culture, art, history, gender studies, identity formation, literature, social dynamics, social and business networks, as well as medical history and policy either in terms of specific East Asian cultures or relating to topics defined as crossing national and cultural boundaries within the wider East Asian context. Find out more about our research , our staff and what our current postgraduate students are working on within Chinese Studies and Japanese Studies .
