藏学与喜马拉雅研究 MPhil Tibetan and Himalayan Studies

The MPhil in Tibetan and Himalayan Studies is a taught course introducing students to Tibetan language (both spoken and literary), history, society, literature, and religious traditions of the Tibetan plateau and Himalayan region. Students are expected to attend classes well-prepared through self-directed study and reading, with academic articles and books assigned for general background on the region, plus weekly vocabulary and grammar exercises. Students are encouraged to use the long summer vacation between the first and second year to attend a summer school abroad or visit Tibetan-speaking communities to develop their language skills. Teaching takes place through language classes, lectures, seminars and tutorials.
