Thailand has undergone a radical economic, political and social transformation in the past few decades. This degree will allow you to develop Thai language skills while discovering the cultural, political and historical context of this unique country.
Your optional modules will give you the chance to explore the topics that interest you – covering more elements of Thai culture, or exploring other topics across South East Asia and the Asia Pacific region as a whole. East Asian Studies at Leeds covers topics that stretch across the communities of this fascinating region.
You’ll spend your second year in studying in Thailand and your study abroad year gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in Thailand’s rich and fascinating culture. At the same time, you’ll be able to visit other Asian countries close by, such as China, Burma, Laos and Cambodia.
We teach Thai from beginners’ level, but if you already have some knowledge we can normally accommodate you.
This four-year degree includes a year abroad.
