Applicants to the honours program in the fourth year must have completed with marks of credit or better Japanese language subjects to the value of twenty-four points at second and third-year levels combined, of which sixteen must be at third-year level. The completion of JPL3071/JPS3071 (Theory and research in Japanese studies A) and JPL3072/JPS3072 (Theory and research in Japanese studies B), and eight points in Japanese studies subjects at the second or third-year level is also required.
However, intending honours students are strongly encouraged to complete, along with the Japanese language major, JPS1070 (Sources of contemporary Japanese culture and society) and JPS1090 (Understanding contemporary Japan) in their first year and at least sixteen points in Japanese studies subjects during their second and third year.
Combined honours may be taken in Japanese studies and another discipline provided that all honours requirements are met in both disciplines and the program is approved by the heads of both departments. Mid-year entry is not offered by this department. Students who have completed honours may proceed to a Graduate Diploma of Arts, a variety of MA programs (by coursework, coursework and minor thesis, or by major thesis) and to PhD. For details consult the graduate studies handbook.
