Japanese at leeds??Hey, I was just wondering if anyone here does Japanese at Leeds, Im applying for entry in 2008 and Im quite interested in the course at Leeds because i heard it has a good reputation. What types of options can I take in the second year, and I was just wondering if students are able to choose which uni to study at in their 3rd year. Btw, Im guessing doing japanese at leeds is a lot better than Newcastle, Im also considering newcastle but the optional modules at Newcastle just seem a bit random and not very worthwhile IMO.

Re: Japanese at leeds??This is so freaky, I haven't logged on for ages, then the first post is about Japanese at Leeds! My degree!
I started single honours Japanese this year and I'm loving it! It's really intense but, definitely worth it. I was a complete beginner in September but now, I can have a decent conversation with the international students from Japan.
In Leeds, the second year of the course (instead of the third), is spent at a Japanese university. I'll be going to Fukuoka Uni from September, properly excited!
Let me know if there are any specifics you want to know about, my MSN is dhughes86@hotmail.com

Re: Japanese at leeds??Hahaha! *high fives Dan-chan <3*
Hi!
You should definitely come to Leeds! Yes yes, it's pretty awesome.
As Dan said, in Leeds, you spend your second year abroad rather than your 3rd year as you do in most other unis.
So it is freaky, because though we know more than beginners, it feels like we know very little, and will are being thrown into a crazy country with crazy language and kanji *ugh*, but I think it's also an awesome experience, and as I've heard it _does_ improve your language skills big time!
also, the plus side of going in your 2nd year is, well, I think, if you find your degree a drag and would like to change it to whatever, you can go to Japan and basically have a year long holiday of AWESOME, come back, and do something else.
I'll be in Tokyo! 8D Ho Yeah!
Obviously pm me if you have questions 8D
bye bye~~
// oh, I forgot to mention..
I've also applied to Leeds and Newcastle before coming here. I think that the optional/elective modules suck everywhere, so it doesn't really matter where you go - THEY SUCK!
so.. I'm not sure why, but I was moved by Leeds more..heheLast edited by akeyaranu; 08-07-2007 at 19:57.
