Japan is one of the world’s biggest economies, but it’s also home to a rich and varied culture and a complex, changing society. This degree will allow you to develop your Japanese language skills while exploring the diversity of Japanese society – and you’ll spend a year at a Japanese university to gain first-hand experience. Core modules will allow you to develop your spoken and written Japanese, while optional modules allow you to explore Japanese culture, history or politics. You could also take modules on Chinese society, or explore East Asia more generally. We focus on modern Japanese life, but we don’t ignore the complex history that brought it to this point. This Japanese degree will allow you gain a real insight into a fascinating country.
