About our Department

The graduates of the Japanese Department of Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages should not only receive a holistic education, but also two foreign languages (English, Japanese) dominate. The main feature of curriculum design is to help students acquire good command of Japanese language in order to enhance their ability of “cross-cultural communication,” “problem solving,” “basic occupational skill,” and “core professional skill.” In response to the needs of the society and industry we cultivate students to become qualified personnel with proactive thinking ability and global perspective. To enhance students’ professional skills, we encourage them to pass various licensing tests and to take up internships in a variety of business environment.
