Learn to think in a different way:
Japanese is a very challenging language to master but it is also exciting. This is especially true of literature, which reveals the possibilities of language beyond day-to-day communication. Literature is powerful because it creates encounters with with new people and places that even lead to new discoveries about oneself. The thing I love most about teaching Japanese literature is exploring the links between text, context, the familiar and the unfamiliar with my students.

Japanese is a complex and fascinating language, which allows you to access and fully comprehend the rich culture of a country that plays a considerable role in the international community and that constitutes the world’s third-largest economy.
Our courses offer you the opportunity to learn this language to an advanced level, alongside in-depth understanding of Japan: its history, its culture and its society within the wider region of East Asia.
We also encourage the development of transferrable skills, including the development of critical thinking and a variety of written and oral communication skills.
