Japanese culture has had a profound and long-lasting influence on the West. Not only is Japan one of the biggest economies in the world, it also has one of the most fascinating cultures.

Whether you have studied Japanese at school or are a complete beginner, the School of Languages and Cultures gives you a comprehensive and supportive education in spoken and written Japanese within the Bachelor of Arts (BA).

The emphasis is on getting you involved and speaking straight away. Through classes and fun tutorials, and the multimedia learning support at the Language Learning Centre, you will find you are soon ready for later courses in modern Japanese culture and society. You can also take Japanese as part of a major in Modern Language Studies.
