The Korean studies program is designed for students who wish to acquire Korean language skills and understand Korean culture and society. The units offered will be useful to students who aspire to a professional career in business, government, communication, and education, among other fields. Korean language teaching incorporates interactive and multimedia resources to enhance learning and bring Korean culture to the classroom. Introducing Hangul, a phonetic writing system, enables you to type in Korean from the introductory level. The focus is on enabling you to communicate in Korean in a broad range of situations, and the use of Korean in various genre areas such as business, journalism, science, law and tourism. Sociocultural aspects in these areas are also explored. You may complete a major sequence and honours in Korean studies. Combined honours may be taken in the school of languages, cultures and linguistics and another area of study.
