The School of East Asian Studies (SEAS) at The University of Sheffield would like to invite applications for postgraduate scholarships for 2016/17 entry with start dates from 1 October 2016.

With a history dating back to 1963, the School of East Asian Studies is one of Europe´s leading centres of academic excellence for the study of contemporary East Asia.

The School's research activities concentrate on four research clusters:
• East Asian Business Environment
• East Asian Text and Culture
• Human Movement and Development in East Asia
• Power, Cooperation and Competition in East Asia

Each cluster represents an area of existing research strength and priority at Sheffield, and builds on the strong track record of language-based area studies and related multidisciplinary research.
SEAS offers single-country supervision on China, Japan and Korea as well as transnational processes and linkages. Applications covering both social science and humanities topics are welcome. Our main focus is the business, politics, societies, cultures, economies and history of modern and contemporary East Asia.
