The two main foci of the program are the South Asian region as well as its diaspora. Through a wide range of courses from different disciplines like anthropology, sociology, history, political science, and languages, the program aims to foster a deeper understanding of the South Asian region as an entirety, as well as the range of issues that concern the South Asian diaspora. Given that contemporary South Asia has emerged as a major world force faced with unprecedented social and political changes, the program offers grounded and expert analyses of challenges that face the region. Importantly, the program engages with the contemporary South Asian diaspora, which has become a significant and powerful presence in Canada and elsewhere. After completion of degree you can apply for careers like Translator, Foreign Correspondent and Foreign Consultant.
