Korean Studies

Korean Studies is an interdisciplinary area of research and critical analysis of the culture, society, philosophical thought and language of the Korean peninsula and its diaspora. The course structure includes a strong element of Korean language studies, as well as social sciences study units which give students opportunities to pursue topics they find personally interesting, from literature and popular culture to politics and history. You will also have the choice of undertaking part of your major at a partner institution in Korea.

Korean Studies graduates are increasingly sought-after in many professional and management careers in both business and the public sector, in positions where language and cultural expertise is required. Graduates are also employed by state and federal government departments (including Defence, Home Affairs, and Foreign Affairs and Trade), commercial enterprises investing in Korea (especially in the resources sector), tourism, public sector and cultural organisations, NGOs and the media industry. Graduates can also pursue a career in academia or teaching.
