Explore the culture and history of China and Thailand and learn two languages, gaining valuable skills for a global career.
We teach both languages from beginner level, but if you have some prior knowledge we can normally accommodate you. You’ll build your skills in each language through core modules, and you’ll be introduced to the culture, history and politics of China, Thailand and the Asia Pacific region.
A wide range of optional modules will expand your knowledge, allowing you to focus on development issues, Chinese culture, Japanese cinema and recent Thai history among others. Due to the size of East Asian Studies at Leeds, we are able to offer flexible and varied degrees that allow you to pursue your interests.
In this five-year course you’ll spend two years abroad, with a year in China and a year in Thailand giving you first-hand experience of the languages and cultures.
