Korean Studies provides students with the opportunity to develop a balance of effective communicative skills in Korean and knowledge and understanding about Korea.

The development of the South Korean economy has rapidly expanded opportunities for Korean Studies graduates. Demand for graduates with Korean linguistic and socio-cultural skills is already high and growing rapidly as Australian companies and institutions intensify their Asian links. Korean graduates can be found working in such fields as international relations, trade, commerce, tourism, technology and education.
