Do you love Japanese because of anime, J-pop, or the art of tea ceremony?
Do you dream of setting foot in Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka—not just for a quick “check-in,” but to live – study – and work there?
And are you looking for a practical field of study with clear career prospects—not just something to learn for fun?
If so, the Japanese Language program at HUFLIT is your gateway to making that dream come true—a 3.5-year in-depth journey of professional training, practical learning, and international opportunities.
