The department currently provides instruction in the Japanese language at six levels, from level A (beginners) to level F (advanced). Students will be placed in classes appropriate to their ability, which will vary according to their previous study (at school and at other institutions) and their experience in Japan. First-year students commence their study at level A (those with no previous study of Japanese), at level B (those with VCE level Japanese proficiency), or at level B/C (accelerated) or higher levels (those with advanced competence and/or extended experience in Japan).
Students who have successfully completed a substantial part of their schooling in the Japanese education system are normally not eligible to enrol in Japanese language subjects. However, such students may complete a major in Japanese studies (see under Japanese studies).
