East Asian Economy and Society (EcoS) is a two-year multidisciplinary Master of Arts (MA) programme offered by the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Vienna. Designed for students with diverse academic backgrounds, the programme provides specialised regional expertise by focusing 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 programme emphasises a comparativist approach to current transnational and regional issues.
The application window for the academic year 2027/2028 is going to open from March 1 until April 6, 2027. For more information about the application process, click here.
