Education

I graduated from the University of Manchester and have since continued learning through professional roles and formal training. This page provides an overview of my educational history until that point.

University of Manchester

I completed a Japanese Studies BA Hons degree and received a grade of 2:1 with distinction in translation and spoken Japanese.

In this degree I learnt a lot about the Japanese language and also cultural context through many modules. In addition to Japan-focused modules, I also completed courses in Media Studies and teaching English as a foreign language.

My dissertation examined and provided solutions to the Japanese welfare system known as ‘Public Assistance’.

Waseda university (早稲田大学)

As part of my degree, I completed a one year placement at Waseda university in Tokyo. Classes were focused on practical Japanese language skills such as debate, presentations, transcription, grammar and more.

I also completed fieldwork for my dissertation, visiting municpial welfare offices and carrying out interviews and gathering materials.

Optional modules

I attended Chichester college and got A levels in English Language, Law, Media Studies, and Pure Maths.
