程序选项

亚洲研究学士学位-四年学制
由于亚洲研究的范围很广,该学科专业的学生通常关注亚洲区域研究或亚洲语言和文化。区域研究集中提供有关南亚、东南亚和东亚的历史和当代文明以及生活方式的课程。这些课程通常对亚洲文化采取比较的方法,不太强调高级语言学习。

亚洲语言和文化课程通常鼓励学生专注于一个特定的语言/文化地区,如中国、日本、韩国或南亚。课程更加强调语言能力,帮助学生理解广泛的文本,以便在社交和专业目的上灵活有效地使用语言。

留学机会经常提供给亚洲地区研究和语言和文化的学生。

这些课程用亚洲母语向学生介绍文学、哲学和历史作品。学校将特别受欢迎的课程,如普通话、粤语和日语,分成两个部分,一个面向传统学习者,另一个面向非传统学习者,这并不罕见。

传统课程是为那些在理解目标语言口语方面有很强背景,但阅读和写作能力较弱的学生设计的。非传统课程是为没有接触过这门语言的外语学习者准备的,因此需要培养听、说、读、写四个关键技能。

亚洲研究硕士学位-两年制
亚洲研究博士学位-四至六年学制
亚洲研究的研究生课程通常强调亚洲某一特定地理区域的核心知识,主要是为那些打算从事学术研究和大学教学的学生设计的。

入学要求通常包括至少一种亚洲语言的能力。有些学校可能还要求掌握一门欧洲外语,通常是法语或德语。出国留学可能是某些项目的一部分。硕士研究生必须完成一篇论文,博士生必须完成论文答辩才能毕业。

以下是可能在硕士和博士阶段开设的亚洲研究课程的概要。每个学生的学习课程将根据他们选择的专注程度而有所不同。
