Japanese

The School offers two programmes for those interested in learning more about Japanese language and culture. The seven-level Advanced Diploma in Japanese allows students to acquire a high proficiency in the language, while the multi-modular Advanced Diploma in Japanese Communication and Culture helps advanced students further their communication skills and deepen their understanding of Japanese culture.

The School also regularly organises seminars, talks and other extracurricular activities to engage students and encourage cultural exchange. These include the Japan Education Fair, career seminars, speech and karaoke contests, and a three-day seminar on the culture of Higashiyama hosted by experts from Ginkakuji of Kyoto, as well as demonstration of Sado, Kodo and Japanese cuisine. In addition to these activities, study tours are held twice a year to provide students with the opportunity to experience Japanese culture first-hand. In 2008, a Japanese e-learning platform was also launched to provide extra learning support outside of the classroom.
