Students are expected to reach N2 JLPT by the end of their fourth year as well as having a deep understanding of Japanese culture.
• Flexible career paths: The skills learned in the main career path of becoming a Japanese translator can also allow students to branch out to a multitude of other professions including Japanese teachers, secretaries, tour guides, education consultants and more.
