Centre for Japanese Studies

In May 2011 UEA established a new Centre for Japanese Studies (CJS). Located within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at UEA, Centre for Japanese Studies leads and coordinates Japan-related teaching and research at the University.

CJS will help students interested in studying about Japan access the wide range of expertise about Japan across the University and in the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures.

CJS is dedicated to developing a centre of excellence in Japanese studies at UEA and to stimulating the highest quality interdisciplinary research on Japan in Norwich.
