Over the past 150 years, Japan has experienced change at a rapid pace but has nevertheless retained its fascinating cultural heritage. 

Study with us and you will develop the linguistic, intercultural and analytical skills to engage with this dynamic society in an interdisciplinary way. 

Japanese and Linguistics make an excellent joint honours choice by combining the study of: 

  • a modern language in its cultural context
  • the expression and creation of meaning

You will benefit from the same Japanese language training as our MA (Hons) Japanese students, but will be able to focus your studies on the social scientific understanding of language. 

On our programme, Linguistics options of particular relevance to language students cover: 

  • sociolinguistics - the relationship between language and society
  • variation in the languages of the world
  • first and second languages acquisition
  • Global Englishes
