Japan has the fifth largest economy in the world, and Japanese is the eighth most widely spoken language in the world today.
In recent years trade and cultural ties between New Zealand and Japan have expanded, and so too has a demand for university graduates with a sound knowledge of Japanese language and culture.
You can enrol in our beginner-level course JAPA131 with NO previous knowledge of Japanese.
