Answer:

I've never heard of that. As far as I know, you can study a language, but if you want a Masters Degree associated with it, it's not just going to be in the language, like Japanese. It would have to be in a specific discipline, like Japanese Literature.

How much Japanese do you know? You can't just skip directly to a Masters programme in Japanese if you have no Japanese background. How would you know what they're talking about?
