The course draws on pre-modern, modern, or contemporary materials, as appropriate, with a view to developing students’ research and bibliographic skills in advanced studies in the humanities and social sciences.

These courses are mainly for postgraduate and Honours students on an individual guidance basis.  Students may choose any relevant reading materials to their thesis and read them through with an 
instructor.  When there are a few students in class, the same reading materials may be chosen by them to read together in one class per  week.  All classes are entirely conducted in Japanese.

    
Mid-term take-home examination (summary in Japanese; Japanese to  
English translation; comprehension questions; and Kanji reading) 40%;  
final take-home examination (summary in Japanese; Japanese to English  
translation; comprehension questions; and Kanji reading) 50%; and  
self-assessment 10%.

Students are expected to spend 10 hours per week on this course, inclusive of contact hours.
