Masters Degrees in East Asian Languages & Literature
We have 24 Masters Degrees in East Asian Languages & Literature
Masters degrees in East Asian Languages & Literature explore the linguistic and literary worlds of the East Asia region, predominantly focusing on China, Japan and Korea. Courses are often aimed at developing students’ existing language skills (or learning an entirely new language). This linguistic focus means that Translation Studies usually plays a significant role in these Masters.
