PhD Programmes in Humanities Studies Language Studies Japanese Studies

While only the size of the state of California, Japan is a world leader in technology and boasts the third-largest economy. In Japanese studies, students examine the country’s power, people, language, society and traditions to gain a better understanding of this tiny global powerhouse.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
