Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) at the Zhejiang Gongshang University. IEAS provides students and researchers the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge of the cultures, societies, history, politics, religions, trade, international relations and economy of the East Asian region. We cultivate an outstanding group of students to gain an intellectually rich and materially grounded understanding of East Asia as space of rapid transformation, while developing multilingual graduate students with rigorous language training for high level of proficiency in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. In a time of globalization, our graduate courses in East Asian studies thus build the foundations to help students launch professional careers in teaching, research and make an impact.
