Asian Studies explores diverse topics and themes on the literary, cultural, philosophic-religious, aesthetic, social, institutional-political, educational and other related spheres of Asian people and civilization. It also endeavours to explain the complex interactions between them in terms of both tradition and transformation. Some emphasis is placed not only on the cultural diversity, unity and achievements of Asian countries but also on the comparative and interdisciplinary ways of promoting a broader and deeper understanding of the East. This may shed new light on Western civilizations, histories, traditions, cultures and modern changes.

It is a popular and rewarding major programme, for the growing importance of Asia in the world scene means more career opportunities in business, trade, law, journalism, government, education, social work, art, etc. for students who choose Asian Studies. In particular, it covers the geographical and cultural areas of East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc.), South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc.), and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.) offering various courses in most of the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. Asian Studies courses, on the undergraduate level, attract students with divergent academic interests and career goals.
