About Us

Welcome to the Japanese Language and Cultural Society.

Who we are

JLACS is a student-run society, with the aim to promote the Japanese language and culture to local students, while creating a space for like-minded people to meet. 

What we do

We run events where it provides an opportunity for members to gather and socialise with other students, including students studying Japanese and Japanese nationals.

Tomodachi club is a weekly social club where members can gather regularly. We usually play board games, chit chat with others and practice Japanese and English, and meet new people. Snacks and soft drinks are also provided. Tomodachi club is held every Tuesday during the academic year from 4:00PM - 6:00PM, at the Backstage Cafe in the Schulz building.

JLACS also runs monthly events. Past events include: beach day, hiking day, cafe crawl, easter-egg hunter, quiz night, pub crawl, cooking events etc.
