- Description/content
- The English-language Master's programme in Chinese Studies offers a comprehensive programme of postgraduate instruction for students with a BA in Chinese Studies as well as graduates from the humanities and social sciences with appropriate language skills in Modern Chinese. Focusing on religions and literature as well as economic and social history, teaching and research in Leipzig, the programme places an equal focus on China’s traditions and to their ruptures and continuities in the present day. We seek to provide our students with a historically grounded view of China, which will prepare them for either further graduate work in a PhD programme or for any occupation requiring a reflective understanding of China’s past and present. Leipzig Chinese Studies alums today work in business, government, academia, cultural enterprises, and NGOs.
