Additional Information

Career opportunities

You'll graduate with proficiency in the Japanese language, as well as an insight into the fascinating culture of one of the world’s most influential economies. Combining your knowledge with experience of living abroad for a year provides you with access to a wide range of careers in Japan and elsewhere around the world.

You’ll have developed transferable skills too, including strong research skills, allowing you to find information from a wide range of sources and draw your own conclusions. Then you’ll be able to communicate and defend them clearly.

Teamwork, adaptability and time management are also among the key qualities you can develop.

As a result, our graduates have pursued diverse careers.

Many join the Japanese government’s Japan Exchange and Teaching programme (JET), which recruits graduates to work in teaching and international relations positions.

Others have moved into teaching, tourism, publishing, business, broadcasting, overseas aid work, PR, and language-based roles such as translating and interpreting within and outside of Japan.

Others have studied for a postgraduate qualification in translating or interpreting to pursue language-based careers or continued to study Japanese language or culture, either for a PhD and career in academia or to further their knowledge.

We are committed to helping you achieve your career ambitions. The School of Languages, Cultures and Societies careers and employability support includes promoting internships, providing opportunities to work for the School and employer-led workshops and events.
