Bachelor of Arts [B.A] (Modern East Asian Studies)
Field of Study:
The BA course "Modern East Asian Studies" (BA MOAS) combines a specialist discipline (political science, sociology, or economics) with the study of an East Asian language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and regional studies. Due to this combination, the range of courses differs significantly from philological or cultural studies-oriented courses such as Japanese Studies, Korean Studies, and Sinology, in which, as a rule, there is no similar in-depth methodological and theoretical training. BA MOAS students spend their third year of study at a partner university in East Asia and, in the last two semesters, students take part in English-language courses in the Master’s programs offered by the Institute for East Asian Studies.
The aim in the four years of study is to train professional East Asian experts for business, politics, and science who, using disciplinary methods and approaches as well as materials in the original language, can competently analyze phenomena of contemporary societies and the economies of East Asia and apply them fruitfully in their respective areas of activity.

- Proof of academic aptitude is provided through participation in the core test as well as the relevant field-specific module of the academic aptitude test for foreign students (TestAS) for the chosen course. A standard value of at least 100 must be demonstrated in the core test and in the subject-specific module.
Indian Eligibility:
Indians students are eligible to apply if they meet the following requirements:
- Applicants must have sufficient language skills to be able to attend events in English. Students whose mother tongue is not English must prove English language skills in accordance with the completed level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ??(GER) before starting their studies.
- Students will also learn a language, either Chinese, Japanese or Korean. Most of the students will approach these languages ??with no prior knowledge. Therefore, they need a good dose of discipline, because they will learn vocabulary and characters all the time.
