As a joint program between the University of Tokyo and Peking University, the East Asian Academy for New Liberal Arts (EAA), with its appeal of “East Asian Studies as Liberal Arts,” aims to give rise to new types of scholarship that engage with issues concerning the world and humanity from the standpoint of East Asia.
In the academic year of 2020, as the senior-division curriculum, the newly established cross-disciplinary “Trilingual East Asian Studies Program” recruited its students and held various academic events.
Hereby we start recruiting the program students for the academic year of 2025 according to the following guidance. We are looking forward to the application of students who are willing to create new liberal arts with us from the standpoint of East Asia.
