Master’s Degree Program on Southeast Asian Studies

History:

The Master in Southeast Asian Studies (MSEAS) program features “dual specialties” and “interdisciplinary” curriculum design which emphasizes both languages and professional specialties simultaneously. Furthermore, this program requires students to complete an overseas project-based learning program (at least 2 months) and a case study on Southeast Asia, encouraging students to explore Southeast Asia through the practice of problem solving approaches and university social responsibility and to use the local languages at work or in professional undertakings.

Mission:

• MSEAS program aims to cultivate future business managers, social entrepreneurs with Southeast Asian language proficiency and interdisciplinary knowledge. We are looking for domestic and international students who plan to pursue their career or entrepreneurial venture in Southeast Asia, or promote Southeast Asian affairs in public or private sectors in Taiwan.
• The postgraduates are provided with the most diverse foreign language course options in Taiwan, dynamic learning resources provided by our international faculty, and a highly interdisciplinary academic environment.
• By undertaking the required overseas project-based learning program, postgraduates will apply their expertise to the communities and industries in Southeast Asian countries, discover unfulfilled needs and potential in the market, and eventually develop social entrepreneurship.

Postgraduates are provided with flexibility to choose elective courses conducted in either Chinese or English, equipping the students with global competitiveness and transnational mobility that require good English proficiency.
