CrossAsia Entry: Department of East Asian Studies, Chinese Studies Section
http://www.btk.elte.hu/kinai/ (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary) Citation: The Department of Asian Studies is the only one of its kind in Hungary. The original East Asian Institute was founded in 1924 at Péter Pázmány University (Eötvös Loránd University since 1949), where Chinese and Japanese Language and culture were taught. [...] At present the department has two majors: Chinese and Japanese. [...] Moreover, novel subprograms were established within the responsibility area of the department, partly under an unprecedented project of collaboration with the Department of Inner-Asiatic Studies: the program of the history of Buddhism, and the Korean program. The two-year Korean program was set up in 1997 with the aid of the Korea Foundation, in which Korean language, literature, history and Buddhism are taught. In the last couple of years, Vietnamese has also been taught in the frame of our department. [...] The department offers courses in modern and classical Chinese, translation practice, ancient and modern history, classical and modern literature, the history of arts in the Far East, philology and history of Chinese drama.
