The Master’s degree study programme in Culture Studies of China focuses on the political history and cultural anthropology of China from the late Empire to the present. It is focused on research of both traditional and modern China, in particular on the meaning of tradition for modern society. Students should know that if they wish to comprehend contemporary China, they ought to understand its cultural, historical, and social background.

The programme has three basic objectives: 1) to further develop the knowledge about traditional and modern Chinese culture acquired during the Bachelor’s degree study programme through participation in seminars, where students carry out individual research; 2) to solidly acquire primary methodological skills and apply them in research in the field of humanities, appropriately applying the selected method to the research of particular cultural and social phenomena; and 3) to continue language training with the goal of an excellent command of Chinese at the B-2 level, SERR (HSK 6).
