Objective
The objective of the module is that the student is able to use their knowledge on China and International Relations on a specialized level.
Contents
The fourth semester of the Master’s Program is dedicated to writing the Master’s thesis, where the student will devote themselves to a problem formulation that relates to China and International Relations.
The coordinator will approve the subject of the thesis and a deadline will be set. If the student has chosen a full specialization in Chinese Area Studies, the subject matter of the Master’s thesis must be within the respective field.
Supervisor A from UIR and Supervisor B from AAU will be assigned during the thesis writing process, but the student must still organize their thesis writing and therefore must choose the subject, problem formulation and find the relevant literature and source material individually.
