Asian Studies: Politics, Society and Economy of Asia

Expertise in Leiden on modern Asia covers all Asian regions: East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Central Asia. The programme allows students a considerable degree of freedom. You will be able to choose an individual specialisation by country, region, discipline or field.
