A Unique and International Programme

MEAS offers you a broad variety of options to tailor your academic experience to your own interests and take an active role in shaping your course of study. These options include a truly unique choice of languages and a broad range of disciplines covering several different East Asian countries. Its research-orientated approach also makes MEAS the perfect choice for students interested in embarking on a PhD further down the line.

Interdisciplinary Centre for East Asian Studies (IZO)

The MEAS programme is affiliated with the Goethe University's Interdisciplinary Centre for East Asian Studies (IZO). This means that students benefit from the centre's extensive expertise as well as its research activities and events.

The University

Goethe University has so much to offer, from highly motivated teaching staff with a broad range of research fields to a beautiful campus that is home to a lively and international student community. You can find out more about the university here.

Semester Ticket
Goethe University does not charge any tuition fees. Instead, you will pay a modest semester fee of about 340 euros, which includes a 'semester ticket'. This ticket entitles you to unlimited travel on public transport across Germany ("Deutschland-Ticket").

Frankfurt

Finally, enrolling in the MEAS programme means that you will be based in Frankfurt am Main, a culturally diverse and vibrant city in an extremely well-connected part of Germany. There's so much to discover in and around the city, from museums and art galleries to seasonal festivals and events.

And if you want to get out of the city, the surrounding regions boast some truly stunning scenery and exciting landscapes to explore on foot or by bike. Find out more about living in Frankfurt here.
