Murdoch University
Bachelor of Arts (Japanese)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationThe Bachelor of Arts embraces new directions in teaching and practice-based learning to train the thinkers and researchers of the 21st century. Many of the biggest and most vital issues we face today are about human society and the human condition. How can we understand who we are, how we want to live, or what kind of society we want to create, without the insights, knowledge and skills provided by the humanities?
Japanese Major
Studying Japanese opens the door to one of the world’s most fascinating and globally influential cultures.
