Introduction

Undergraduate Program

The department was opened in 1979 when Dongguk, Gyeongju was founded. To understand Japan, which is close in distance and culture, it is necessary to know its language and literary works. The aim of the department is to produce specialists in Japanese through teaching students the language and literature. Useful curriculum and excellent professors help students excel in this field. Many of our students have studied at sister schools in Japan through our student exchange program. There are some programs which help students improve their language skills: one is academic clubs and mentoring, another is cultural exchanges through visiting Japan and communicating in Japanese. Up until now, there are countless graduates in the department. Some work as professors, teachers, instructors, and businessmen, or others study in Japan. Japanese majors have played a key role in the development of society, and they will be leaders of the new century.
