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 2026/2027 will be open from March 2 until April 7, 2026. For more information about the application process, click here
