Description:

We would like to draw your attention to opportunities for students to pursue a
funded MA degree focusing on various areas in East Asian Studies at the
University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada;
http://www.eastasianstudies.ualberta.ca/). Our university is keen to build its
graduate program, and 11 new MA students (many with full funding) entered the
department this fall, part of an expansion we aim to continue. Though we
currently focus on the MA level, an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in conjunction with
other programs is an option, and we hope to start a Ph.D. program in the near
future. The deadline to apply to our graduate program for Fall 2012 entry is 10
January 2012.
 
Students can focus on any of the following areas:
 
Chinese Linguistics/Pedagogy
Chinese Literature
Japanese Linguistics/Pedagogy
Japanese Literature
Japanese Cultural Studies
East Asian Art History
East Asian Religion
East Asian Studies 
 
In particular, the department has research strengths in the following areas:
 
Chinese Linguistics/Pedagogy
Japanese Linguistics/Pedagogy
Premodern Japanese Studies
Premodern Chinese Studies
Taiwanese Literature 
 
Some of the research projects and events hosted by the department may be found at:
 
http://www.eastasianstudies.ualberta.ca/
 
Ph.D. programs focusing on one of the above areas may be created in conjunction
with other programs on campus.
 
Tuition costs at the University of Alberta are very reasonable compared to those
at other North American universities. University and departmental funding is
awarded on the basis of merit; nonetheless, over the past several years we have
been successful in providing almost all of our students with some form of
financial support, including teaching assistantships. In particular, we saw a
large increase in the amount of funding awarded to incoming students this year,
and we expect this to continue.
