Language and literature - Universal Comparative Literature

The Japanese Language and Literature section intends to answer the necessity of diversifying the academic offer, a need acutely felt in the Transylvanian space, which previously lacked the possibility of systematically and thoroughly studying an Asian language and culture. The Japanese Language and Literature section is structured over six semesters and its aim is the study of Japanese language, literature and culture, offering both general knowledge and specialized knowledge. At the end of the three years of study, the students will have acquired the abilities needed for either postgraduate research, or a career in teaching, in the field of interpretation and translation, or in diplomacy. At present, the Japanese Language and Literature specialization grants opportunities of studying and perfecting oneself at foreign universities, in Europe and Japan.

The specialization can be combined with Comparative Universal Literature as a minor. The program outlines cultural differences and enables the dialogue between national literatures by its transdisciplinary opening toward anthropology, sociology, history of the ideas, research of the imaginary, cultural studies, digital humanities and medical humanities.
