Teaching

Students receive a sound education and training in the languages of Tamil, Indonesian and Khmer as well as a broad overview on the history and societies of South India and South Asia (SAARC countries Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka), Tamil literature, Indian religions, philosophy and the economy of India. A particular focus is the interdisciplinary structure of our study programs that link cultural studies with social sciences.
