International students
The School of East Asian Studies is a truly international department with staff and students from across the East Asia, Australasia and Europe coming together to study East Asia.
All of our staff members speak at least two languages and publish work of an international nature and standard. International research within the school focuses on international relations, history, culture, politics and societies.
Our courses attract a diverse range of students – many graduates suggest that this was of great benefit to their study as not only did they expand knowledge of their subject, but also world-wide cultures and views of the world The international perspective a qualification from us offers is an invaluable asset and we are proud of the school’s global community.
I really enjoy the international culture of 91̽»¨. There are so many people from all over the world and you can learn about different cultures and make life-long friends.
