SOAS Japanese 2025

Hii, I was just wondering whether there was anyone else who is going to start studying Japanese at SOAS this September?

2 days late, but I am! (^з^)-☆

Ahh, that's so cool!! Are you planning on just doing Japanese or combining it with something? ^^

I was gonna pair it with politics but I literally have 0 experience with that so I bailed in the last second 😅 But honestly after seeing the modules for Japanese on its own I think I'll be happy with the different things I'll learn besides the language itself

That's fair 😅 I'm going to pair it with Linguistics since I've seen in second year you can specialise in translation which really interests me! Have you gone to an open day yet?

Linguistics is so cool!! I'm glad someone else is doing more language focused work 😄 I did go to an open day around the end of last year and I did a taster lecture for Japanese, too, so hopefully we could find more familiar people in our course for the applicant day this April (^-^)

Yess!! I'm really looking forward to the applicant day 😊 will you be applying for accommodation as well today?

I applied to a private student accommodation for this year instead of SOAS halls because the options weren't really for me 😓– I chose Pavilion Court in Wembley it's really nice and not too far either

hii I am too! I'm trying to decide on accommodation today!

That's so cool!! Are you just doing BA Japanese or combining it with something? ^^ Good luck with your accommodation! Which ones are you most interested in? ☺️

I'm excited to meet everyone ☺️

I applied for just Japanese but I’m thinking about seeing if I would be able to switch to combine it with World Philosophies! Linguistics sounds like such a cool combination too!! Fresh Glassyard is my first choice for accommodation! 😆

Ooh, world philosophies sounds so interesting! I'm sure if you email them they'd be able to switch it for you as that's what happened when I wanted to add on linguistics 😊 I hope you get your first choice in accommodation!
