\nMaster\u2019s Education in East Asia: Access, Learning, and Employment<\/p>\n

\u25a0Abstract<\/strong>
\nThis open seminar aims to address the issues of expanding master\u2019s education and its current challenges in East Asia, focusing on Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan. Although the massification of higher education at the undergraduate level has been discussed in many Asian countries for the past three decades, the expansion of postgraduate education has rarely been studied. Considering the scale of rapid expansion on master\u2019s education in Asian countries, it is worthwhile to address historical development of master\u2019s education in advanced Asian higher education systems and its contribution to their higher education and current challenges including access, employment, career path of graduates, quality of learning experiences, and internationalization issues.<\/p>\n

The seminar begins by describing the key changes in the higher education environment in relation to master\u2019s education locally, regionally, and globally, and highlights major challenges of master\u2019s education in each case country. Different issues in master\u2019s education in each case higher education system will be presented and compared and common challenges will be discussed. For instance, master\u2019s education in Taiwan will be discussed in the context of massified higher education and its shifting purposes and learning processes of master\u2019s students will be suggested. In the case of Hong Kong, diverse factors including economic, social, academic, and cultural will be examined in students\u2019 decision making in pursuing of master\u2019s degree. Korean case will demonstrate whether master\u2019s degree improves students\u2019 employment outcomes or not and the results will be compared across the types of master\u2019s programmes. A majority of students in master\u2019s degree pursue doctoral degree and academic career path, thus, Chinese case will present what factors make the transition from master to doctoral level. Lastly, several master\u2019s degree programmes in East Asia are currently recruiting many foreign students, and the Japanese case will show how internationalization affects master\u2019s programmes and students\u2019 educational experiences.<\/p>\n
