The proposition of the major in Japanese language and literature initiative was justified by the previous existence of a minor in Japanese language and literature, which has been part of the Faculty of Letters’ circular syllabus since the 1999/2000 academic year, on the basis of the M.E.N. advice from 15.09.1999, the legal framework having been confirmed by obtaining the approval of the provisional operation authorization of the B specialization according to H. G. 410/2002 from 25th April 2002. The Japanese language and literature A specialization received A.R.A.C.I.S. accreditation in the year 2009.
The Japanese language and literature programme presents a significant opening towards the Japanese cultural and educational fields, towards which a continuously growing interest can be observed, this specialization’s introduction in the academic curriculum aligning the Babeş-Bolyai University with numerous prestigious European and American universities which have Asian Studies programmes in their framework.
Currently, within the Japanese language and literature programme, many studying and polishing opportunities are being harnessed at foreign universities from Europe or Japan, such as Erasmus+ agreements or others in collaboration with European universities, student exchange programmes with the Kobe University (Japan), Ehime University (Japan), Musashino University (Japan) and Kanagawa University (Japan).
