The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) is pleased to announce the FASStrack Asia: The Summer School in June 2014. If your interest is in Asia and all things Asian, FASStrack Asia will be perfect for you.
As one of the most modern and dynamic countries in the world, Singapore with its multi-cultural society is ideally positioned as a transnational hub within Asia, the fastest-growing region in the world today. FASS with its tradition of excellent teaching and strong research in Asian studies, is well poised to impart the critical skills necessary to understand this complex and vitally-important region. As Asia undergoes rapid changes and developments, this summer school will offer a spotlight on the region so you can gain a better understanding of various related topics and issues.
Taught over a 5-week summer period (23 June – 25 July 2014), you will attend classes, participate in active discussions and go on field trips with academic experts. We offer courses related to East Asia, Southeast Asian Studies as well as in Economics and various Asian language courses. Some of them will feature an 8 to 10 days’ field trip to countries such as China, Korea, Japan, Cambodia and Thailand, as well as local field trips in Singapore. In addition to NUS students, you will be joined by international students from universities all over the world for the summer school.
There will be social activities and events for student get-togethers and cultural exchange. You will have an opportunity to stay at U-Town’s residential colleges, which combine living, studying and playing on-campus for a comprehensive summer experience in NUS.
