Course summary
Take our Japanese Studies degree and you'll truly discover Japan.
Our Japanese Studies with a Foundation Year starts with learning essential skills to prepare you for degree-level study. Passing this foundation year leads to our Japanese Studies BA where you'll immerse yourself in the language and culture of a country with rich traditions and vibrant modern life.
Mastering the language is a key part of the course. Our language programme, designed for complete and near-beginners, will help you learn to read and write kanji and communicate effectively. Learning from native and fluent non-native speakers will help you gain confidence and overcome any challenges you face. You’ll also be able to take advantage of our unique Japanese room.
You’ll spend your 4th year at a university in Japan. While learning about the culture first hand, you’ll also return with superior Japanese language skills.
We’ll make sure you meet recruiters and hear about opportunities in industries such as tourism and translation. Your language skills and cultural insight will be sought after by employers globally.
