Bachelor of Arts with Honours - Japanese

Victoria University of Wellington

Broaden your mind with the wide-ranging opportunities you’ll get from postgraduate study in Japanese language and culture. Choose from a range of study options. You can concentrate on coursework through a Postgraduate Diploma in Arts, mix coursework and research in the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and take your research skills to the next level by doing a Master’s or PhD thesis. With research opportunities that cross a range of disciplines, you’ll be able to investigate the areas you’re most interested in, build a deeper understanding of the culture and language and set yourself on the path to an academic career. Studying in the School of Languages and Cultures, you’ll learn from staff with international reputations for teaching, research and publishing. You'll need to complete 120 points over one year, or if studying part time, over a maximum of four years. At Honours level your learning will be more self-directed. You'll have the opportunity to do a 30-point research project and this will include designing, undertaking and reporting on a research project under supervision. As an Honours student you'll be in smaller classes and will be able to build closer relationships with academic staff.
