2023-24 academic year. We would like to
encourage students who were interested in
learning the Japanese language and culture to
sign up for the courses offered in the Japanese
Studies Program. Unfortunately due to the COVID
pandemic in the past years the course offering
and enrollment have been affected and disrupted
quite a bit, but we will do our best in
rebuilding the program including the honours
minor degree program. We would appreciate your
participation and continuing interest in the
program. Welcome (back) to the Japanese Studies
