Why study Japanese?
Japanese is the most widely-learned foreign language in Australia, and the focus at undergraduate level is the development of communicative competency. By studying Japanese at undergraduate level, students will gain valuable insight into the rich cultural traditions and contemporary socio-cultural aspects of Japan. The main aims of the Honours year are: To enable students with an adequate background in Japanese to pursue further study in one specialist area in more depth than is possible with a pass degree To enhance students capacity for independent research and to acquire research skills appropriate to their area of specialisation. To train to a standard sufficient for enrolment in postgraduate research degrees, and for a specialist career. Achievement of first class or IIA honours allows direct entry to a PhD program.
What you can study
An Honours year in Japanese focuses on developing and consolidating the knowledge and skills acquired during undergraduate study, with particular emphasis on utilising those skills in a sustained and purposeful way by conducting independent research.
