The Institute of Asian Research plans to launch Canada s first graduate program with a focus on contemporary policy issues relevant to Asia in fall 2000. The program will be a crucial component to IAR s ongoing research objectives, according to Director Pitman Potter.
Teaching contributes to our research agenda.
Research achievements contribute to teaching success. I think teaching and research are natural complements of each other. After completing the core course, students will take a further 18 credits from across the university under the supervision of IAR faculty. These courses will be tailored to meet the students interests in their chosen areas. He foresees an enrolment of up to 30 students per graduating class.
