• The Bachelor’s degree programme in Japanese Studies is a specialisation in the degree programme in East Asian Studies. The BA in Japanese Studies enables students to learn about Japan and its historical, cultural, political and economic interrelationships with other East Asian nations at a very early stage of their academic programme.
  • Courses in the department are designed in such a way so as to develop a specific understanding of Japan that is ultimately required to formulate and answer general related questions. The aim of this rather practical orientation is to scientifically deconstruct individual phenomena associated with Japanese culture and society and to integrate insights into generalised scientific discourse.
