MPhil in Japanese Studies

21 Months On Campus Masters Program

University of Oxford

Program Overview

The MPhil in Japanese Studies is a two-year programme offered jointly by the Faculty of Oriental Studies and the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies that combines intensive language courses, three courses about Japan, research methods courses and a 30,000-word dissertation. Native speakers of Japanese take two additional courses about Japan. It acts either as a foundation for those intending to seek employment working in Japan or with the Japanese, or as a preparation for further research on Japan on a doctoral programme at Oxford or elsewhere. It is taught by full-time members of the Nissan and Oriental Institutes and all the courses are designed for master's-level students.
