Japanese
From the tea ceremony and Zen to Naruto and ramen, Japanese language is the key to a whole new world of experience. Be ready for the Rugby World Cup and Tokyo Olympics, visit temples and Ghibli museum or join Keele Japanese sempai who live and work in Japan where more and more overseas graduates are recruited.
At Keele we offer 6 levels of Japanese, from absolute beginner to intermediate, available to all Keele students and staff.
See the module catalogue for the descriptions of:

Students who have completed a Japanese module may apply to study for 3 weeks at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies in July, allowing the chance to get first-hand experience of language and culture during the vacation period - see Summer Schools for more information.
What our students say
Here's what some of our previous students had to say about our Japanese Modern Language modules:
"Very informative sessions that pinpointed my weaknesses which helped me quickly improve with any difficulty. Overall excellent teaching!"
"The lecturer is very supportive and fun. I would recommend this module to anyone."
"I feel that I have gone from zero Japanese language proficiency to a level that I am actually confident enough to self-travel in Japan. This is how efficient the teaching is and it is my favourite subject in Keele."
