Learn Chinese and Japanese. Taste, explore and understand two of the world's most fascinating cultures. End the year with four weeks in China and Japan, as someone who understand more.

At Asia Unlocked you step into two of the world's most exciting cultures. You don't come just as a tourist, but as someone who wants to understand more. The main focus is on China, with Chinese language, culture and history. You'll also learn Japanese and get to know Japan.

Throughout the year you'll, among other things:

We compare the two countries and try to understand why they have become what they are today. What matters most is that you're curious about Asia and want to understand more.

On the study trip you'll experience both the major attractions and the hidden gems ordinary tourists rarely find. In China you can walk on the Great Wall, see pandas, visit the Forbidden City and climb a beautiful mountain in southern China. In Japan, it's Tokyo, Kyoto and the areas around them. Here you get to use what you've learned, meet people and experience the contrasts between tradition and the future, big city and everyday life.

Two countries. Two cultures. One year that opens up a new world.
