Our Bachelor of Arts is flexible and exploratory, designed to build critical thinking skills and prepare you for professional success. The Japanese Studies major explores Japan's language, culture and global impact. You'll tackle big questions like: How does language shape cultural norms? What impact has anime had on global youth culture? Did Fukushima influence Japan's energy policies? You will investigate the role of language in society, analyse emerging research - and even undertake your own. Our curriculum goes beyond studying Japan from a textbook perspective, focusing on experiential learning and real-world application. Our hands-on approach means you won't just learn about Japan; you'll experience it through study abroad programs, internships and direct engagement with experts and scholars. You'll build a versatile toolkit of intercultural communication and digital literacy skills. Whether you aim for roles in international business, diplomacy or cultural exchange, you'll graduate ready to take on exciting challenges in a globally connected world.
