Courses

The two basic courses Japanese 1-2 are designed to give a complete beginner some basic language skills and knowledge of central Japanese cultural concepts within one academic year. If you already have some language skills in Japanese, you may simply register for Japanese 2 in the spring.

Attendance in teaching

As a rule, courses arranged by the Language Centre require 80% attendance. Required attendance is a prerequisite for passing the course. Online courses, and self-study courses are clearly marked as such on Peppi.

It is particularly important to attend the introductory lecture or the first meeting of the course to get an idea of the course as a whole and the tasks included in the course. If you are unable to attend the first meeting, please make arrangements with the teacher in advance, otherwise your place may be allocated to another student.
