Japanese studies - Faculty of Arts

Offered by the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics

Japanese studies units are taught in English and most require no language prerequisites (with the exception of units in the linguistics stream). They are open to all students and may be taken as part of a major or minor in Japanese language or studies, as part of a major in Asian studies, or on their own.

Two units form the first-year sequence in Japanese studies: ASN1010 (Asian civilisations: cycle of empires) and JPS1090 (Understanding contemporary Japan). Together, these units provide a broad introduction to a number of aspects of Japanese culture and society, and the broader Asian context. After the first-year sequence, a variety of units are available in society, culture, and linguistics and communication.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in Japanese studies, refer to the `Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.
