MASTER OF SOCIAL SCIENCES (M.Soc.Sc.) IN EAST ASIAN STUDIES

Connecting Northeast and Southeast Asia

The National University of Malaysia’s Master’s Degree in East Asian Studies is a new programme offered by the Department of Strategic Studies and International Relations. It is one of the very few Master’s programmes in UKM that is fully conducted in English.

This Master’s programme aims to provide an in-depth study of Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian countries. Students will explore the dynamics of the East Asian region through individual country case studies and also from an institutional perspective, specifically focusing on ASEAN as the driving force of regional integration.

This programme is designed for students preparing to go on to doctoral level research in some aspect of East Asian Studies, political science or international relations. It also serves the needs of students who are interested in a professional career in public service, government and politics, diplomacy, finance, military service, journalism and media, or business. Regardless of destination, this programme affords all students an opportunity to pursue flexible, varied, and career-oriented course of instruction.

We have launched UKM’s East Asia and International Relations Forum (EAIR) since 25 August 2014. See updates on this page for upcoming forums.
