School of East Asian Studies at the University of Sheffield School of East Asian Studies (SEAS)

Studying with us in the School of East Asian Studies isn’t just about learning Chinese, Korean or Japanese language. Through our studies modules we cover a wide range of subject areas including history, politics and international relations, culture and society. In this episode we talk to Lola and Tabitha about the topics they’ve enjoyed studying most, which subjects they found themselves surprised to be fascinated with and what they are looking forward to exploring next year.

We catch up with BA East Asian Studies graduate Meredith Graham who graduatted in 2019 and has since traveled to Japan to work o the JET prorgamme, navigated the Covid-19 pandemic and secured a fantastic job working as an English Editor at ZOO Digital, based in Sheffield. 

We teamed up with the School of English for this episode and invited students from both departments to come together and discuss their experiences.

Third year students Hannah Dibble (English Literature & History) and Luke Wakeman (East Asian Studies) have a conversation about their dissertations, modules, why they chose Sheffield, student living, and more.
