Japan is one of the world's largest economies and there are many opportunities for fluent speakers of Japanese. The Diploma in Japanese helps you become a competent communicator in Japanese, with strong language skills in all areas required for daily communication.
You develop an awareness of the cultural and social differences between New Zealand and Japan. The programme is a mix of intensive language study, practical application of the language, cultural awareness and an understanding of business and hospitality etiquette.
Start date: 2021
International student entry requirements
Students who have secondary school qualifications in Japanese may be exempt from one or more courses at the introductory level and go straight into higher level courses, subject to a placement test. These students would then be required to make up the points with other courses.
If you already have a degree when you start this diploma, you'll have an even wider choice of careers depending on your other qualifications.
