An Orientation program to prepare for Japanese corporate life; and a research project undertaken during the student's stay in Japan. The orientation will consist of four workshop-like sessions before the students' departure to Japan and one session after their return. For the research project, the student will choose one topic of his/her interest to conduct research in Japan and write a paper of approximately 5,000 words. The topic can be selected from a wide range such as different aspects of Japanese corporate life, business mannerisms, community life, or cultural aspects. The research will be supervised and the progress monitored by Japanese Studies staff at Macquarie University. The assessment of this unit will be made on presentations, discussions and a written exam during the orientation program, as well as on the research paper submitted at the end of the program.
