Japanese and Chinese Literatures Course
The Forefront of Chinese and Japanese Classical Studies
The Japanese and Chinese Literatures Course offers programs to carry out highly specialized researches in Japanese Linguistics, Japanese Literature, and Chinese Literature.
Students not only acquire specialized knowledge in a specific field, but they can conduct research in other fields closely related to their major with wide and in-depth knowledge.
Having completed this course, many students go over to China to continue their studies or teach Japanese overseas, while quite a few Chinese students come to our School to study.
Making full use of this outstanding system for research and education, we aim to produce specialists including researchers and well-qualified teachers of Japanese who can deal with various subjects related to these three fields from a broader point of view.
