In this short video, Professor Aaron Moore and Dr Holly Stephens introduce a range of courses in Japanese Studies and Korean Studies.

If you want to study the Japanese or Korean language as an outside subject (i.e. if your degree is in something completely different), our Foundation courses are the most suitable for you. You take them over one semester and gain 20 credits per course. There are options for complete beginners.

If you are interested in Japanese or Korean society and culture - areas such as history, literature and politics - we also have a range of courses to suit. They are suitable for beginners and are taught in English - no language learning required!
