Colleges and Universities Offering Bachelor of Arts in Asian Studies in Ireland

Institutions Offering Bachelor of Arts in Asian Studies

•  University College Cork, Cork  
  Duration: 3 years
  
  Teaching Mode: Full-time
  
  Course Outline:
  Asian Studies examines the many different countries that constitute this vast continent, from the Middle East to India and the Himalayan States, to Southeast Asia region and the Far East.
  
  The 21st century has been dubbed the "Asian century" because of the rapidly rising economic, cultural and political importance on the world stage of Asian countries, yet in Ireland our knowledge and understanding of this vast area is generally lacking.
  
  Asian countries are very different from each other. The course focuses on contemporary Asia, beginning with an overview of the entire region, including Asian diasporas worldwide. In subsequent years you will choose modules from a variety of disciplines focusing on Asia , allowing you to study particular countries or regions in more depth, and (optionally) to study one or more Asian language.
  
  Study abroad with UCC’s partner universities in Asia is also encouraged.
