Welcome to the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Leeds. If you want to study an East Asian language – be it Chinese, Japanese, Thai, or Mongolian – and learn about the cultures, societies, histories, politics, economies and international relations of this important region, then the Department has a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes to suit you.
The Department was established in 1963 and has grown into one of the largest centres of East Asian Studies in Europe. We are a vibrant scholarly community. Our students and staff come from a variety of backgrounds and from different parts of the world. We also form part of the White Rose East Asia Centre (WREAC), a collaboration with Leeds University Business School (LUBS) and the School of East Asian Studies (University of Sheffield).
In this website, you will find information on the various options for study the Department can offer you, what activities and events we are involved in, and what it is like to study with us here in Leeds. Find out more about us.
