Description:
Why study for your Master’s in East Asian Art History at the University of Zurich? As Switzerland’s only dedicated program in the field, our Chair of East Asian Art History offers a unique opportunity to explore the artistic cultures of China, Japan, and Korea. You will engage with their interconnected histories and examine their pivotal role in shaping global art, politics, economies, and societies, all while developing critical perspectives on visual culture both past and present.
Join our online information session on March 4, 2025, to learn more about our MA program, chaired by Prof. Dr. Ewa Machotka. Our approach combines hands-on study of art objects with theoretical insights, enabling you to pursue individual research interests—whether in Japanese prints, contemporary eco-art, or Buddhist imagery—while actively engaging in transcultural dialogues and exploring emerging scholarly debates on environmental issues and digital transformation.
During the session, you will hear directly from Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Stephanie Santschi and Saskia Goldschmid, a recent M.A. graduate, about their experience in the program, their academic journey, and how it shaped their career. Discover how our research-based learning approach—combining topical seminars, practical workshops, and international excursions—can open doors to careers in museums, galleries, heritage institutions, academia, and the global art market.
