About School of East Asian Studies
  The history of the School of East Asian Studies (SEAS) goes back to 1963, when the Centre for Japanese Studies (CJS) was established following the government's 'Hayter Report' on the teaching of Slavonic, Oriental and African languages. The purpose of its foundation was twofold: to establish a centre of excellence in Asian Studies in the North of England; and to move away from the traditional pattern of teaching about East Asia. Sheffield pioneered the 'dual degree' system by teaching Japanese together with social science and other disciplines. This approach to the study of East Asia is now standard.

The department's research orientation is in language-based social science research on East Asia. Its members of staff, all of whom are fluent in at least one of the region's languages, specialise in the study of modern, especially contemporary, East Asia, with particular strengths in business studies, ethnic studies, history, international relations, migration and other disciplines. By the start of the twenty-first century the school has grown to be one of the largest and most distinguished departments of its kind in Europe and the wider world.
