Dear colleagues,
we would be grateful, if you could circulate this call for applications
among interested students:
Heidelberg University welcomes applications for its 2-year Master Programme
in Transcultural Studies. Across disciplines and national borders, students
from around the globe can explore the dynamics of cultural exchanges. The
emphasis lies on Asian, predominantly East and South Asian, and European
cultures.
The M.A. Transcultural Studies is a research-oriented, interdisciplinary
programme in the humanities and social sciences with a transregional focus.
It offers a wide range of courses within an international research
environment and is taught completely in English. Students are trained in
transcultural theories and methods as well as in the study of cross-cultural
exchanges in past and present, specifically between Asia and Europe. They
specialise in one of three study foci: "Society, Economy, and Governance",
"Visual, Media and Material Culture", or "Knowledge, Belief, and Religion".
They will learn to critically evaluate research tools and methodologies from
different disciplines in order to arrive at a set of methods and theories,
which is framed according to the specific research question and material.
Students are encouraged to spend their third semester abroad on study
exchange or conducting a research oriented internship. They can benefit from
partnerships with Tokyo and Kyoto University, the University of Hyderabad
and Seoul National University that also include funding programmes. A study
exchange to other Asian, as well as European countries is also possible.
Applicants must hold a B.A. or equivalent (minimum three years of study) in
a discipline of the humanities or social sciences with an above-average
grade. Furthermore, proficiency in English and two more languages is
required.
The application deadline for international students is June 15, 2017.
