A prior knowledge of the region is not necessary. The Asia-Pacific is a dynamic and rapidly changing key economic region in the world.

Each year, a number of students from East Asia take the degree, in order to study their region from a different cultural and theoretical set of perspectives. Students who wish to work in or with East Asia take the degree and its modules, in order to gain an insight into the cultural, economic and political opportunities and challenges of the region.
Issues and topics examined include: China's emerging status as a world power, The regional institutions of East Asia, Security issues, including nuclear weapons and terrorism, Human rights, peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction, Environmental security and climate change.
