Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art PROSPECTUS 2021/22 SOAS University of London Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art PROSPECTUS 2021/22 In Association with POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN ASIAN ART 2 The Postgraduate Diploma in Asian art at SOAS University of London offers a programme renowned for its excellence. The course provides object-based study through lectures and contributions from a wide range of leading scholars, curators, and art market professionals. We have a formal association with the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), which means we offer exceptional access to the collections and curatorial expertise of both institutions. The Postgraduate Diploma will appeal to all those with a serious interest in Asian art, regardless of your personal, professional or academic background. It is also a proven pathway to further postgraduate study in Asian art and careers in museums, the art world and academia. In 2021/22 all our full-time modules will be fully available online, so you can study with us from anywhere in the world. Those able to travel to London will be able to join selected sessions in person, where circumstances allow. We also plan to host a series of co-curricular events, including in-person visits to the V&A and British Museum, subject to current safety measures. The online modules have been a game changer for me! I would have never “been able to physically go to London because of my work and studies. Also, the format allowed for such a diverse group of students as well as lecturers to come together, which was really enjoyable. Coming together in this virtual space allowed us students to sharpen our senses with regards to seeing the tiniest details that may have escaped our attention if in situ. I particularly enjoyed the virtual museum visits and curator's talks on site. The SOAS Postgraduate Diploma in Asian art has skillfully adapted to online teaching, creating a highly enjoyable learning environment beneficial for students all over the world. ” Theresa Zischkin SOAS University of London PROSPECTUS 2021/22 CONTENTS 3 FOREWORD 4 PROGRAMME DETAILS 5 COURSE SYLLABUS 6 CAREER AND FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES 8 THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE 9 SHORT SPECIALIST ART COURSES 10 HOW TO APPLY 11 Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art SOAS University of London Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square London WC1H OXG Phone: +44 (0)20 7898 4445 Email: [email protected] The superlative collections of the V&A and the British Museum make London one www.AsianArtDiploma.co.uk “of the most important centres for the appreciation and study of Asian art and culture. https://www.instagram.com/soasdiplomainasianart The SOAS Postgraduate Diploma in Asian art gives students unique access to these Programme Director: collections and to the expertise of those who curate them.

DATE: SEPT. 20, 2017 APPEAL OF NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER DECISION PETITION: FORM I-140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER The Petitioner, a production management services company, seeks to employ the Beneficiary as a senior quality assurance (QA) engineer. It requests classification of the Beneficiary as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree under the second preference immigrant classification. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b)(2), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2). This employment-based immigrant classification allows a U.S. employer to sponsor a professional with an advanced degree for lawful permanent resident status. The Director of the Nebraska Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the record did not establish that the Beneficiary holds a full U.S. baccalaureate or foreign equivalent degree, and that the Beneficiary does not have the five years of post -baccalaureate experience required for the offered job. On appeal, the Petitioner submits additional evidence and asserts that the Beneficiary's postgraduate diploma represents attainment of a level of education comparable to a bachelor's degree in the United States, and that the Beneficiary obtained the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience following completion of his diploma requirements. Upon de novo review, we will dismiss the appeal. I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY As required by statute, the petition is accompanied by an ETA Form 9089, Application for Permanent Employment Certification (labor certification), approved by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

It will be the first major exhibition of Australian art to visit South East Asia for many years. I believe very strongly that Australia and our South East Asian neighbours have an enormous amount to share with each other. This exhibition will give a strong indication of contemporary Australian artistic currents and concerns. At the same time, it will demonstrate the depth of Australia's interest in developing contacts with and learning more about the rich and vivid contemporary cultures of our neighbours. I congratulate westpac Banking corporation on sponsoring the exhibition, and the Australia council and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on supporting it. It is my strong hope that Art from Australia will prove to be the first of many new ventures exchanging art and artists between Australia and South East Asia.
