Summer University: Asia and the Middle-East: Differences and Commonalities (13-24.08)

The UT Asian Centre together with the Lifelong Learning Centre is organizing an International Summer University titled Asia and the Middle-East: Differences and Commonalities this August (13-24.08.18).

The Summer University program serves to educate students in Asian and Middle Eastern economies, societies and politics, and thereby contribute to their ongoing studies and/or previous experience. Asia and the Middle-East: Differences and Commonalities is interdisciplinary and future oriented. The aim of the program is to help students to understand, analyse and predict developments in Asia and the Middle East, take advantage of the related opportunities, and mitigate potential threats. The curriculum will include a selection of subjects related to present-day Asia, including Asian political regimes, Asian states in world economy, economic cooperation between the European Union and Asia, etc. By focussing mainly on present-day Asia, an alternative is offered to the existing Asian studies curricula which concentrates on Asian philosophy and ancient culture.
