Transnational European and East Asian Culture and History - TEACH

The aim of the master’s degree program Transnational European and East Asian Culture and History (TEACH) is to provide students with solid cultural knowledge as well as language and methodological skills for comparative cultural research and work on both international and transnational level in Europe and East Asia. Upon graduation, students are awarded a master’s degree from the University of Bonn and a second master’s degree from the Japanese or Korean partner university. Students must therefore spend one semester each in Japan and Korea as part of this degree program.

The master’s degree program builds on language and methodological knowledge and skills acquired in a Japan- or Korea-related bachelor’s degree program. These competences are applied to a second country—Korea for students of Japanese studies, Japan for students of Koran studies—and complemented by a European perspective.
