> Dear H-Asia Members,
>
> Heidelberg University starts a new Master Programme Transcultural Studies
> in October 2011. Across disciplines and national borders, students from
> around the globe can explore the dynamics of cultural exchanges.
>
> The M.A. Transcultural Studies is an interdisciplinary programme in the
> humanities and social sciences with a transregional focus. It offers a
> wide range of courses taught in English within an international research
> environment. Students are trained in transcultural theories and methods as
> well as in the study of cross-cultural exchanges. During the programme
> they can specialise in one of the three areas: "Society, Economy, and
> Governance", "Visual, Media, and Material Culture", or "Knowledge, Belief,
> and Religion". Each is cutting across disciplines and not confined to one
> region.
>
> Applicants must hold a B.A. or equivalent (minimum three years of study)
> in a discipline of the humanities or social sciences. Furthermore,
> proficiency in English and two more languages is required.
>
> The application deadline for international students is June 15, 2011. More
> information on the programme and the application process is available at
> http://www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de/en/master.
>
> We would be grateful if you could circulate this e-mail among prospective
> students.

> With best wishes
