MAGHE is an interdisciplinary programme and brings together courses in global history, the history of education and comparative education. It is geared towards a deeper understanding of the present state of education and will provide students a grounded perspective on the future. The programme aims at cultivating graduates with an awareness of the historical processes that forged and continue to shape modern education systems in East Asia and worldwide, and thereby equips students with professionally relevant academic knowledge. It can also serve as a stepping stone for doctoral studies.

With the elevation of China’s global influences and international status, the Chinese language has been attracting a vast number of learners, and is now one of the most attractive languages to learn. On the one hand, Chinese language teaching has been on a rapid rise in many countries; on the other hand, more foreign language speakers go to China to study Chinese language. It is predicted that there will be a steady growth of the demand for Chinese language teachers.
