The joint degree in Japanese aims to provide the student with the highest level of competence in all aspects of the written and spoken language, and with high level of competence in their second subject. Students also explore factors that create and sustain poverty; lived experience of poverty and being poor; global and national policies, programmes and institutions designed to tackle poverty and inequality; factors leading to countries growing richer, healthier and more secure. Students learn how theories at general level apply in specific regional contexts and how similar policies and development interventions have different outcomes based on particular political systems, cultures and societies.
