When should I go?
It is anticipated that you go abroad during the third semester, preferably to China or Taiwan.
You have three options to go abroad:
-
Study Abroad: If you wish to study at a university in China or Taiwan you can take elective courses at the master's level that are relevant to your thesis.
-
Internship: You can undertake an internship by applying to an organization or business in China or Taiwan, or foreign affairs office in China, as part of the course AMS4900 – International Project Term in Asia and the Middle East.
-
Fieldwork: You can choose to complete fieldwork for your master's thesis by opting for the course combination KIN4010 – Research Methodologies in China studies, KIN4550 – Research Topics in Chinese Culture and Society I or KIN4650 – Research Topics in Chinese Culture and Society II and EAST4610 – Voices from East Asia: How to Communicate Research Results. By choosing this alternative, you will combine data collection with training on how to communicate research results to a broader audience.
