Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe Universität

Le campus de l'université est immense, les cours sont en grande partie captivants et la plupart des profs réussissent à transmettre leur savoir de manière compréhensible. Le point faible de cet institut est le manque de soutien pour la matière secondaire (il est obligatoir de choisir une matière primaire et une secondaire). On se sent un peu perdu dans cette matière secondaire et elle demande beaucoup de temps investit pour y succéder.

The course was very enriching and interesting.  There is a lot of freedom to choose your modules and to specialize.  Unfortunately, the organization and structure were sometimes very poor, which was to the disadvantage of the students.  Furthermore, some professors were not competent enough to teach (a lot of errors in the script, a lot of errors in exercises and calculations).

I was lucky enough to find and to get enrolled into one of the few English taught Master degree programms in Germany. It is called Modern East Asian Studies, and it accommodates both students with a B.A. degree in Asia related cultural studies, and students with a B.A. degree in economics, law or social sciences.
During two years of intensive studies in the MEAS program, students will not only mature to experts on modern Asia, but also develop methodological, theoretical as well as soft skills in interdisciplinary team work. With its structure of three tracks, the MEAS M.A. title qualifies for an academic career as well as a professional career in international enterprises and organizations.
