Sinology in Würzburg -

Würzburg's Sinology was founded in 1965 and currently consists of three chairs. It is the only sinology in Bavaria that focusses on modern China, with a orientation towards social sciences and economic sciences, without neglecting traditional China and cultural-historical approaches to the study of China. It is precisely this combination of different disciplinary approaches that opens up exciting perspectives for China research and various Chinese studies programmes.
