Course Overview

This degree gives you proficiency in a major world language, as well as an insight into the fascinating culture of one of the world’s fastest-growing regions which is increasingly gaining economic importance. These will open doors into a wide range of careers, but you will also develop transferable skills that are valued by all kinds of employers.

You’ll have strong research skills, allowing you to find relevant information from a wide range of sources and draw your own conclusions from what you find. Then you’ll be able to present and defend them clearly with your advanced communication skills. Teamwork, adaptability and time management are also among the key qualities you can develop.

As a result, graduates have pursued diverse careers. Many join the Japan Exchange and Teaching programme (JET), which recruits graduates to work in teaching and international relations positions. Others have moved into teaching, business, tourism, publishing, broadcasting, PR, translating and interpreting both at home and across China, Japan and Hong Kong.

General Eligibility

A-level: AAB-ABB

A foreign language is preferred.

GCSE: 4/C in a foreign language

Other course specific tests:

If you’re taking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in a relevant subject this might be considered alongside other Level 3 qualifications and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. If you’re taking A Levels, this would be BBB-ABB at A Level (preferably including a foreign language) and grade A in the EPQ.
