Bachelor of Arts (Japanese) | Bachelor's degree | Languages | On Campus | 3 years | Massey University | New Zealand

Massey’s BA (Japanese) will equip you with advanced language skills in spoken and written Japanese, coupled with a solid understanding of the cultural background underpinning this complex and powerful society. With your BA (Japanese), you can expect to acquire competence approximately equivalent to Level Two of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (Nihongo Noryoku Shiken). No prior Japanese language learning is required. However, if you have studied some Japanese previously, please contact the programme coordinator for advice on the appropriate entry level. Relevant in a global context - The increasingly multicultural and global nature of society means it is important to learn new languages and about other cultures, and how they interact with, and are affected by, your own and other cultures. The BA (Japanese) shows you the world from the Japanese perspective, and how Japan has interacted with the rest of the world. The BA (Japanese) produces many of its own digital study materials, relevant to Australasian students, so you will gain skills that are applicable to your own communities.
