Thailand has undergone a radical economic, political and social transformation in recent decades. This degree will allow you to develop Thai language skills to an advanced level while discovering the cultural, political and historical context of this unique country.
Your optional modules will give you the chance to explore the topics that interest you – covering more elements of Thai culture, or exploring other topics across South East Asia and the Asia Pacific region as a whole. East Asian Studies at Leeds covers topics that stretch across the communities of this fascinating region.
You’ll spend your second year studying in Thailand and have many opportunities to immerse yourself in rich and fascinating culture. At the same time, you’ll be able to visit other Asian countries close by, such as China, Burma, Laos and Cambodia.
We teach Thai from beginners’ level, but if you already have some knowledge we can normally accommodate you.
This four-year degree includes a year abroad.

Career opportunities
A degree in Thai Studies equips you with strong Thai language skills in a country that is growing in importance within an influential region of the world. It also gives you the chance to develop cultural awareness of both the country and the issues facing the region as a whole.
These qualities will open doors to a range of careers, but you will also gain transferable skills such as presentation, teamwork, research, advanced communication, critical and analytical skills. These are always in demand from employers.
Graduates of East Asian studies have gone into a wide range of careers, including tourism, broadcasting, PR, diplomacy, education, journalism, government, law, finance and language-based roles such as translation and interpreting. For example, Thai graduate Jenny moved to Canada to start her career in a language school.
Others have studied for a postgraduate qualification in translating or interpreting to pursue language-based careers or continued to study Thai language or culture to Masters level, either for a PhD and career in academia or to further their knowledge.
For example, Ben received a scholarship from the Royal Thai Embassy (London) to study for a Masters by Research at Leeds.
We are committed to helping you achieve your career ambitions. The School of Languages, Cultures and Societies careers and employability support includes promoting internships, providing opportunities to work for the School and employer-led workshops and events.
