The Department of Japanese has an approved program qualified to confer a bachelor’s degree in Japanese Language and Literature. Among universities of science and engineering nationwide, NCUT’s Japanese Department was one of the earliest established programs. This department has worked hard to formulate its own methodologies to cultivate students’ talents while establishing firm cross-cultural foundations, strong theoretical practice, and exemplary intercultural communication skills. Within this department the teaching faculty have undertaken two National Social Science Funded projects and three Provincial projects.
