The Modul 4 is comprised of 16 ECTS courses from the EcoS curriculum and 4 ECTS elective courses from the Institute of East Asian Studies. The 16 ECTS can be freely elected among following classes, each with 4 ECTS:
WM4a ... VU History of East Asia
WM4b ... VU East Asian Society
WM4c ... VU Introduction to East Asian Languages and Scripts
WM4d ... Methodology of East Asian Studies
WM4e ... Governance in East Asia
WM4f ... Regionalism in East Asia
Please note that you do not have to take 4 courses with 4 different codes! You can also take two classes from the same code.
For the 4 elective ECTS you can choose to either take another course from the above or take classes from Japanese, Korean or Chinese Studies. Such classes usually are lectures (VO) and have 1 to 3 ECTS. Therefore, you will have to take at least 2 classes from the ones offered each semester. Please note that you have to take 16 ECTS out of the WM4 courses and cannot supplement them by taking more classes of the other studies!
