Course Summary

Japan is one of the world’s biggest economies and home to a rich culture and a varied, changing society. This degree will allow you to develop your Japanese language skills while exploring the diversity of Japanese society. Core modules will allow you to develop your spoken and written Japanese, while optional modules are the starting point for you to choose the elements of Japanese and East Asian culture, history or politics that interest you. You could also study modules on Chinese society, or explore East Asia more generally. We focus on modern Japanese life, however we don’t ignore the complex history that brought it to this point. Whether as an absolute beginner or with intermediate-level Japanese, you'll become part of a community of staff and students in East Asian Studies at Leeds. This four-year course includes a year at a Japanese university. This course is intended for non-native speakers of Japanese only.
