The 21st century is an Asian century. The economic miracles of Asia in recent years have brought about significant changes that have attained world recognition. The influence of this region is not only the result of its boosting economic status and close international ties, but also their diverse cultural traditions and history.
The Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Asian Studies programme aims to give students a solid understanding of Asia’s transformation and its associated complexities by adopting a multidisciplinary approach. Students will have the opportunity to examine Asia’s metamorphosis in social, political, economic, cultural and historical perspectives. This approach will help cultivate students’ critical thinking and communication skills. Besides allowing students to comprehend the miracles of Asia, the programme also helps students to appreciate and respect cultural diversity at the same time.
