Two subjects form the first-year sequence in Japanese studies: JPS1070 (Sources of contemporary Japanese culture and society) and JPS1090 (Understanding contemporary Japan). Together these subjects provide a broad introduction to a number of aspects of Japanese culture and society. After the first-year sequence a large number of subjects are available in two streams: society and culture and linguistics and communication.
The society and culture subjects include JPS2110/3110 (Japanese society and culture); JPS2190/3190 (Japanese management and the economy, JPS2710/3710 (History of Australia-Japan relations) and JPS2150/3150 (Japanese culture).

The linguistics and communication subjects include JPS2590/3590 (Japanese linguistics) and JPS2130/3130 (Japanese sociolinguistics) (only one of these will be offered annually) and JPS2530/3530 (Japanese language acquisition and use).
