Glimpse into classes
Compulsory classes (B.A.)
To provide for a basic understanding of Southeast Asian Studies and the region in the beginning of the undergraduate degree, a number of so-called compulsory courses must be attended and completed. The following classes are compulsory in the first four semesters:
Culture and Society of Modern Southeast Asia
The class deals with the history of the region from approx. 1850 to 1975. Important topics include colonial expansion and development, modernization, nationalism and national liberation, World War II and Japanese occupation, independence and regionalism.
Further classes
In addition to the language lessons and the compulsory courses, there is also the so-called compulsory elective area, in which the students can select classes from the current offer of the department. Classes on a wide variety of topics and countries in the region can be found here.
Forestry and Plantations in Southeast Asia (summer term 2021 and winter term 2021/22 - ENG)
The seminar explored the local and global dimensions of forestry and plantation in Southeast Asia, considering its socio-cultural impact and the threat it constitutes to biodiversity and climate change. Digital literacy was fully integrated into the teaching, providing knowledge about interactive map making, website designing, short movie and podcast production.
If interested, future students always have the opportunity to attend individual events.
