Major: European Asian Economic Relations

• Flyer

Gegenstand des Fachs

The impacts of the financial crisis and environmental degradation affect especially developing and emerging countries. At the same time, Europe faces new challenges from the growing economic importance of China and India. But also the growing economies of other Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand, or Indonesia provide excellent opportunities for economic cooperation for example with respect to future technologies. Trade and technical cooperation between Europe and Asian economies is growing. Therefore, international Corporations and Organizations need experts with knowledge of Asian economies and their relations with Europe. The Major offers a unique opportunity for intercultural learning and exchange among participants coming especially from Asia, Germany and other European countries. The major provides the opportunity to work on the Master thesis based on own field research in Asia.
