Learning a language opens a door to another culture. Our BA Japanese Studies with Foundation Year programme allows you to gain a near-fluent command of the Japanese language and combine it with study of Japanese culture. You will be able to choose from modules on Japanese history, society and contemporary culture including cinema, popular culture, manga and anime.
Entry requirements are flexible and you can join the degree at various levels of competence in Japanese, from complete beginner to advanced learner.
Before proceeding to the main degree, you will spend your Foundation Year preparing yourself for a degree in the arts by improving your study and research skills and gaining arts-related knowledge and understanding. You will also have the opportunity to take a Japanese language module as part of the Foundation Year.
Our part-time Foundation Year degrees allow you to spread out your Foundation Year studies over two years. As the 'Foundation Year' is made up of 120 credits, as a part-time student you can take 60 credits in each of your first and second years before starting the main four-year BA Japanese Studies. This means that you can take six years to complete the part-time degree with Foundation Year.
