PROFILE OF THE DEPARTMENT
In 1964, the Department of East Asian Studies began as the Centre of Chinese
Studies in the University of Delhi. Japanese Studies was introduced in 1969 that
expanded the centre to the Department of Chinese and Japanese Studies. The
incorporation of Korean Studies in 2001 resulted in the new nomenclature as the
Department of East Asian Studies. The Department offers three post graduate courses: an
MA in East Asian Studies, an MA in Japanese Language and Literature and Ph.D. in East
Asian Studies. The Post-graduate courses in the Department focus on an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the region. Language is a compulsory component of
this programme and students are required to learn one of the three East Asian languages:
Chinese, Japanese and Korean. This programme enables students to have comprehensive
and integrated knowledge of the subject and the language concerned.
Please note that without clearing the language papers, the students would not
be able to obtain the MA EAS degree.
Further, the Department offers Post Graduate Courses in Chinese, Japanese and
Korean languages, designed for students who have an undergraduate course.
