Asian Studies Master Programs in Germany: Application Deadlines (2026/27)

Germany’s Asian Studies programs offer international students a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education on the history, cultures, languages, politics, and economies of Asia, in a country with strong academic, diplomatic, and economic ties to the region. Students can specialize in East, South, or Southeast Asian studies while combining courses on regional history, socio-political developments, literature, religion, and art with intensive language training in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, or Indonesian. Many universities collaborate with partner institutions across Asia, providing opportunities for study abroad, fieldwork, and internships with cultural organizations, NGOs, or international agencies.
