Japanese
Major Study
The Japanese major is intended for students enrolling for BA, double
BA degree or BA/BCom. There are four possible entry points, beginners,
post-HSC, intermediate or advanced. For beginners, the major consists
of 82 credit points, for Post HSC, 74 credit points, for intermediate,
62, and for advanced students, 54 credit points. A unique feature
of this course is the possibility of a period of study in Japan
for beginners, post-HSC and intermediate entry students. Intermediate
and Advanced stream students are required to successfully complete
a placement test. The Post HSC stream is designed for students having
completed either 2 unit or 3 unit Japanese at a NSW high school
or equivalent. The beginner's stream assumes no prior knowledge
of the language. The Japanese major articulates with NSW TAFE Certificate
3 in Japanese. Students wishing to study beginner's Japanese but
NOT major are encouraged to take JAPA141 in Session 1, or JAPA101
in Summer Session, if available. JAPA102 and JAPA103 are also available
for beginners who are interested in basic Japanese for either teaching
or business respectively. JAPA110 is available to all students who
wish to familiarise themselves with Japanese culture and history
but who do not wish to pursue language studies. Another special
feature on offer at Wollongong for suitably qualified graduates
is one year of study at a Japanese University in JAPA550 for which
some generous scholarships are available.
The Modern Languages Program has had considerable success in obtaining
funding and scholarships to assist with the costs of travel and
residence in Japan. However, funding is not guaranteed and students
may need to meet the costs associated with travel and accommodation
for any periods of study in Japan.
Note: The subject LING210 may be counted towards majors
in French, Italian, Japanese and English Language Studies.
