FELLOWSHIP: The Master's Program in Area Studies, University of Tsukuba Special Program for Central Asian countries (MPAS/SPJSCA)

Deadline: January 19, 2007 (e-mailed applications and letters of references are accepted)

The Master's Program in Area Studies, the University of Tsukuba welcomes international applicants from Central Asian (CA) countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan) who are interested in studying and making research on international relations and other related fields with special emphasis on the Japanese studies.

This program aims to strengthen the capacity in teaching of various subjects broadly related to the international affairs and role of Japan in Asia as well as Japanese studies at various universities and institutions in CA. This program attempts to do so by accepting the junior staff members and graduate students of the CA universities as well as individual applicants into the educational programs at the University of Tsukuba. Taking into account that the majority of the faculty members and students in CA possess limited knowledge of Japanese language, the educational curriculum in the Master Program for Area Studies, University of Tsukuba offers a unique opportunity to obtain the first-hand information and knowledge through English language based educational curriculum in addition to a number of Japanese
language courses available to enrolling students. Therefore, the previous knowledge of Japanese language is not required for enrolling into this program. The primary target countries for this program are (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan).
