FACULTY OF ASIAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES

EAST ASIAN STUDIES

Lecture List for Michaelmas Term 2025

NOTICE: Non-members of the University may not attend university lectures (unless they are announced as open to the general public) without payment of a fee, otherwise than by personal invitation of the lecturer concerned. Persons who are neither reading for a qualification of this University nor otherwise exempt, and who wish to attend lectures in any term, should apply to the Buildings and Events Manager, Examination Schools, for details of fees. At least three working days’ notice is required before a lecture permit can be issued, to allow liaison with the department or faculty concerned. Senior visiting scholars from other universities who wish to attend lectures, seminars, or classes should normally apply to the lecturer concerned directly, and not to the Buildings and Events Manager.

Lectures begin on the first possible day after the beginning of Full Term (13 Oct) unless otherwise stated.

Lectures will begin five minutes after the hour and finish at five minutes before the next hour.

Students wanting to join lectures that are not normally part of their course of study need to email the lecturer at least 24 hours in advance

I. CLASSES (Language, text, etc)

(a) Classes are arranged for undergraduates and graduates registered for a degree in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. Numbers are strictly limited and priority in allocating places in classes will always be given to Faculty students.

(b) Other members of the University, including graduate students in other faculties, Visiting Students, and post-doctoral researchers, who wish to attend Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies classes should apply for permission in writing by Friday of 1st Week of the term in which they wish to take the class, using the form available here: https://unioxfordnexus.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/AMES-AMESStudentHub/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%7B6D73F7C9-6C5E-4CC0-9371-8E3D1665A151%7D&file=AMES_Faculty_Classes_application_form%20MT24.docx&action=default&mobileredirect=true .

Non-members of the University may also apply to join a class on the same form.

(c) Those who are not given priority as defined in paragraph (a) above, may attend Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies classes only on the approval of the Board of the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, and on payment of a fee of £9.00 per hour. Members of a class will be charged for every hour scheduled in the lecture list, even if they do not attend every class. In addition to the hourly fee, members of the public will be charged a non-refundable joining fee, of £500 per year (£167 per term). The college, department or faculty paying for Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies classes, or, in the case of post-doctoral researchers and members of the public, the individual in person, will remain liable for the entire term’s fee should a class member withdraw from a class any later than the end of the 3rd week of term. A withdrawal fee of £100 will be charged for any class member who withdraws before this time.
