Japanese Lessons in Cambridge

Get Started and Learn Japanese

Japanese is a complex and fascinating language, which allows you to access and fully comprehend the rich culture of a country that plays a considerable role on the international stage, as well as within Cambridge’s local community. Japanese settlement in England first began in the late 19th century with the arrival of professionals and students who wanted to take up higher education at the prestigious University of Cambridge. Over time, the Japanese community in Cambridge grew, exceeding 1,000 people by 2011, according the census. So, if you would like to connect with these people on a deeper level, take advantage of new job opportunities at international companies and/or take up higher education in Japanese, sign up for a course with us today.

Why Study Japanese in Cambridge

Learn Japanese for Work: Learning Japanese in Cambridge will give your career a boost and help you get a new job in the city or overseas. British exports to Japan are worth an impressive £14 billion a year, making Japan the UK’s seventh-largest market when it comes to chemicals, pharmaceuticals and machinery. So, if you are working in any of those fields, learning Japanese for professional reasons is a smart idea as companies need bilingual employees to assist with building and developing professional relationships. Some businesses which are always hiring Japanese speakers are Netcracker Technology, Burberry and Oakland Innovation. Similarly, many local companies are expanding overseas and need people like you to help them understand the business culture of Japan.

Learn Japanese for Studies: Work aside, those more interested in studying will be able to do so at very prestigious institutions in the city. One of them, of course, is the University of Cambridge, which offers minor and major programmes in Japanese. The Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies has courses that will allow you to learn this ancient language alongside an in-depth understanding of the history, culture and society of Japan within the wider region of East Asia. For example, you will not only be learning grammar and vocabulary, but also taking courses like Literary Japanese, Politics, Cinema East and more! One of the few requirements to enrol in these programmes is to have some knowledge of the Japanese language, so do not hesitate to contact us if you need help preparing. We will adapt our Exam Preparation course to your requirements and needs, so you can be ready for this exciting opportunity at Cambridge University.

Learn Japanese for Culture: The Japanese culture is very much alive in Cambridge for you to experience, as well. For example, you can take part in the activities organised by the Cambridge University Anglo-Japanese Society, such as casual get-togethers at pubs, cultural events, like sushi parties or fil nights, and educational conversation exchanges. And if you are into themed events, don’t miss their New Year's Party and their Gohan no Otomo event, where you can taste delicious Japanese dishes while putting your Japanese into practice with the many native speakers that attend! Another institution that tries to keep Japanese culture alive is the Japanese Society in Cambridge which holds regular meetings every first Sunday of the month, where there is an interdisciplinary lecture given in Japanese. Make the most out of this opportunity and start learning the language with us in advance.
