Job opportunities and attractive salaries in Japanese Language industry

What are the current job opportunities and salaries for a Bachelor of Japanese Language? This is an issue that candidates and parents are particularly interested in when researching and intending to choose Japanese Language to study at university level.

What is Japanese Language?

Japanese Language is a major that studies methods and skills of learning Japanese in work and life. At the same time, it studies the history, culture, and people of Japan.

When studying Japanese language, students will be equipped with solid and extensive knowledge of Japanese language. In addition, students are provided with additional knowledge about culture, country, and people of Japan such as: Geography, history, politics, socio-economics, education, literature, etc.

Japanese language is one of the subjects that many parents and students are interested in.

Bachelor of Japanese Language can use Japanese fluently (equivalent to level 5/6 of Vietnam's 6-level Foreign Language Competency Framework; equivalent to JLPT N2) in translation, commerce, Japanese teaching and other specialized fields using Japanese.

Great demand for human resources

According to a report by the Japan External Trade Organization (Jetro), there are more than 2,000 Japanese enterprises operating in Vietnam; of which, over 66% of enterprises tend to expand their business activities in Vietnam. The number of enterprises investing in Vietnam is increasing, leading to an increase in Japanese customers, so they need to recruit personnel who know Japanese to support them in many tasks.

Besides, Japan has high technology and a developed economy but lacks young labor. The aging population in Japan is becoming increasingly serious. Meanwhile, Vietnam "owns" an abundant source of young human resources.

This is the foundation for a close cooperative relationship that benefits both sides. Therefore, Vietnamese students with practical working ability and good Japanese language skills are always the most sought-after in the Japanese market.
