As part of this, we are conducting a survey and would love to hear from the following individuals: 

Students at UK universities (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD) who have studied or are studying Japanese at GCSE, A-level, or degree-level. 

Survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. 

Individuals who studied Japanese (Studies) at university (as a degree, extra credit, or extra-curricular) and who graduated between 2015-2026.

Survey will take approximately 8-10 minutes to complete. 

Students aged 14-18 who:

• are studying Japanese
• Considered taking Japanese for GCSE and/or A-level
• Are considering pursuing a Japanese (Studies) degree at university

Survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. 

School teachers and private tutors who teach Japanese to students aged 14-18. 

Survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. 

UK-based companies with:

• representative offices of Japanese companies;
• non-Japanese companies with Japanese clients;
• non-Japanese companies with business in Japan;
• or recruiters for any of the above companies. 

Survey will take approximately 8 minutes to complete.

The survey will close on 30 November 2026.  

Please help us to spread the word! We would be grateful if you could share these surveys with anyone who fits the criteria.
