Plan Outline

This plan is only available to students commencing from 2009 onwards

The Major in Korean Studies covers the study of the Korean language and the study of the social, cultural and historical aspects associated with the language. It provides students the opportunity to develop as competent users of the Korean language. Students gain intercultural awareness and understanding, develop explicit knowledge of language, and gain knowledge of the social, cultural and historical background of Korean-speaking people. The Korean language plays a key role in expressing the cultures and identities of the places in which is spoken.

Learning Korean will provide students a privileged form of access to the cultural resources and complex patterns of life in Korea and other countries. Developing competence in Korean will have an important place in promoting relationships and mutual understanding between countries and peoples.

This plan is available to students commencing at Introductory and Intermediate entry levels.
