ABOUT
Studying the culture of China, Japan and Korea gives you a unique perspective on the contemporary development of East Asia – the most dynamic area of the world economy. Sheffield is the only major university outside London with expertise in all three countries.
Modules cover topics such as history, society, business and literature. There are lectures on specific themes which you will then discuss in seminars and tutorials. In the third year, you will research and write a 15,000-word dissertation on a topic of your choice, supervised by an academic.
It isn’t compulsory to learn a language on this course. But you have the option to take non-specialist modules in Chinese, Japanese or Korean.
The course doesn’t come with a built-in year abroad, but you’ll have the opportunity to visit East Asia in the second year of your studies as part of our East Asian Fieldwork module, which is funded by the department.
Modules
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
In your first year, you will take a core module in Exploring East Asia to enable you to understand the regional context and the links – geographical, historical, cultural, social and political – between the East Asian states; and a choice of modules on the Critical Analysis of texts about East Asia, to enable you to interpret and utilise scholars’ writings about East Asia.
Through optional modules you will aslo be able to explore China, Japan and Korea in more detail or take up an East Asian language module.
In your second year, you will be able to choose from a range of modules with a focus on the disciplinary study of East Asia, to enable you to understand the different approaches taken to the region by historians, political scientists, and sociologists, among others.
You will also have the opportunity to visit the East Asia region for a short period to conduct in-country research as part of our East Asian Fieldwork module.
In your final year, you will be able to choose from a wide range of specialised research seminar modules, to enable you to join your lecturers in the most up-to-date study of East Asia. This will support an important component of your degree will be a dissertation on a topic of your choice relating to one or more East Asian countries. You will work on the dissertation over the course of the year with a supervisor from the department, using the analytical skills you have developed through your studies in earlier years to produce a high-quality piece of research.
