EcoS is a two-year multidisciplinary master program that focuses on the contemporary societal, political and economic issues in the East Asian region as a whole. East Asia is much more than just the sum of its parts, so the program emphasizes a comparativist approach to current transnational and regional issues.

The application window for the academic year 2025/2026  will be open from March 3 to April 7, 2025.

Read the latest announcements concerning courses, guest lectures, special events and other relevant changes within the program.
