The Department of Japanese Studies provides academic and professional training in the study of Japan and the Japanese language. The programme is designed to meet the growing demand for globally aware citizens, promote cultural and academic exchange, and facilitate communication and cooperation between Hong Kong and Japan.
The programme provides training in critical approaches to Japanese society and culture, and is geared towards mastery of the Japanese language. All third-year students are required to spend one academic year in Japan and to take credit-bearing courses at a Japanese exchange partner university. A key element of the programme is a field research project. Second-year students are trained in research methodologies that they then implement in their third year of study in Japan, when they conduct research in the field. In their fourth year of study, students use the materials collected during their field research to write an academic research paper.
The programme offers three optional streams: (1) Business and Management; (2) Japan in Global Perspective; and (3) Japanese Language and Linguistics. Each stream provides specialised training in the named area and allows students to take courses from other relevant departments, including the Departments of Management, Sociology, Anthropology, and Linguistics and Modern Languages. Students who select one of these streams must choose a related topic for their final-year project.
