Introduction
The Department of Japanese at Dalarna University was established in 2007 and in short time became a main centre for Japanese education in Sweden. You can take individual courses and also complete a bachelor's degree in Japanese here.
All of our courses are taught online, meaning you can study with us whatever your location. Although they are taught by distance, they still take place in real time and involve a great deal of direct interaction with your teacher and your fellow students. We teach in small groups and focus on active use of the language and on communication. We incorporate a number of different methods in our teaching, and these are assessed on an ongoing basis, our ambition being to reinvent, include variation and maintain high quality.
