Our joint honours course allows you to pursue your own areas of interest within International Relations and Japanese Studies whilst also providing you with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for your future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable you to gradually develop your knowledge and skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners.

 

International Relations provides you with the opportunity to develop your understanding and knowledge of world politics, focusing on issues such as nationalism, global justice, security, migration and climate change. Japanese Studies is designed for those who wish to become fluent and competent users of Japanese in a wide range of personal and professional settings as well as the academic domain. The course gives you a working command of Japanese.
