I.Mission

Based on the concept of holistic education, the Department of Japanese aims to cultivate professional Japanese language talents who are diligent, sociable, excellent, and innovate in order to meet the needs of talents for the industrial development in the country. Our undergraduate curriculum emphasizes practicality, covering advanced language training courses in listening, speaking, reading, writing, translation, and interpreting and other diverse courses. Moreover, through the integration of the school’s resources, we designed the “Three-in-One” curriculum, including applied Japanese language, business management, and e-business, designed to meet industrial needs. The graduate curriculum emphasizes both theoretical and practical aspects and centers on linguistic application and Japanese studies, so as to train students to be professional Japanese language talents with theoretical knowledge and practical experiences.
