GLOBASIA01 Global Asia

An understanding of the Asian region and of the global impact of its countries, cultures and economies is of critical importance to all future professionals. This major combines an interdisciplinary approach with a rigorous research-led approach to examine a range of issues relating to the history, politics, society, economy and culture of Asian countries, as well as the variety of expression of individual experience. It focusses in particular on China, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, South Asia and although its units are taught and assessed in English, the major and its units might be combined with any of the Asian language majors as well as to a range of other majors.

Students must sequentially progress through the language unit levels e.g. Introductory, Intermediate, Proficient and Advanced. Students are not permitted to take classes that are below their tested language proficiency level.
