If Japanese is your single Honours language, you must spend a minimum of 30 weeks in Japan between your second and final year. If you are a double honours student and are taking Japanese and French or Spanish from A-Level, you will normally split the year between two countries where those languages are spoken. Students who are taking Japanese, French or Spanish from below A-Level spend the year abroad in the country of the weaker language. Unless you have a very high proficiency in Japanese, you will study about Japan at a Japanese University but in the English language. If you can pass the Japanese proficiency test at level 1 or 2, you may be able to study in Japanese. We can provide advice on this.

It is strongly recommended that students spend the summer in a country where the other language is spoken.
