Study Asian Studies Abroad

If you’re keen on international business, Japan and Singapore are the best places to study Asian studies abroad. For those of you interested in human rights and law, Asian studies in Cambodia, which witnessed a brutal genocide, might be your plan. If you’re thinking Southeast Asia but worried about the alphabet at least kind of resembling ours (I mean those Chinese and Laotian characters can be intimidating), then Vietnam could be your place.

When you study Asian studies abroad, you could be part of the Thai New Year (a three-day water gun festival...!). You could spend everyday eating bibambap and gazing at the futuristic architecture of South Korea. You could take a pilgrimage between 40 Buddhist temples in India to learn about the religion, history, and cultural elements comprising each. The possibilities are all there.

We could write a novel of praise for Asian studies in Asia. In the meantime, do some further independent research!

At BLCU, academic rigor meets cultural heartbeat.

December 01, 2025by: Mateo Cruz - CanadaProgram: Learn Chinese at Beijing Language and Culture University

10

At BLCU, academic rigor meets cultural heartbeat. The curriculum is a carefully built bridge from textbook proficiency to living fluency. What sets it apart is the ecosystem—the campus is a microcosm of global China, where a coffee break conversation can pivot from particle physics to the best Peking duck in the city. The professors are custodians of the language, teaching you not only how to speak, but how to listen to the history in each character. You don't graduate with just a certificate; you graduate with a new lens.

I had an amazing time studying at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. USAC was very helpful with pre departure preparation and helping me figure out visa, immigration and all travel requirements. Even after I returned, I never had to worry about transcripts- they had all that sorted quickly and all my credits transferred to my home university. South Korea was amazing, I made amazing friendships, ate tons of food, got to visit many other cities (+ Japan!) and wore a hanbok too- 10/10!!
