Description

Japanese Studies at the ANU covers the fields of history, religion, gender and cultural studies (including literature and film studies), politics, economics, sociology and education.

A Japanese studies major provides students with a solid foundation upon which to develop both general and specialist interests in Japanese society, culture, history, Japan’s place in Asia and its role in the world. As a nation central to Australia’s interests an engagement with scholarship on Japan is invaluable.
