Japanese Studies

Take our Japanese Studies degree and you'll truly discover Japan. Immerse yourself in the language and culture of a country with rich traditions and vibrant modern life. And find out for yourself that there’s more to this incredible country than cherry blossoms, bullet trains and sushi.

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. Teaching 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 third year at a university in Japan. While learning about the culture first hand, you’ll also return with superior Japanese language skills. While you’re away, you can turn to us whenever you need support.

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.
