Wadham has a strong tradition in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, at both graduate and undergraduate level, and admits students for a wide range of courses in this field.
The Courses
Wadham admits graduate students for the most courses housed within the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. Further details can be found on the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies's website: AMES - Graduate Study
Courses on Chinese, Japanese, and Modern South Asian Studies, run by the School of Global and Area Studies, may also be of interest.
Library Resources
The College Library provides subjects such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Persian with specialist books. The Chinese section, having been built up over many years, offers a valuable alternative to the KB Chen China Centre Library. The College Persian Library, which is of national importance, will be of particular interest to graduates researching in this field.
