ABOUT
Course description
This balanced programme of language study and lecture-based modules helps you develop a critical understanding of Korea while gaining additional Japanese language skills.
You’ll learn Korean and Japanese language from scratch, which will be complemented by modules about Korean society such as history, culture or politics, and you’ll spend a year studying in Seoul at one of our partner universities.
Through optional modules you’ll get the opportunity to study East Asia as a region, exploring Korean issues in a regional or global context. Modules on contemporary Japan are also available and cover issues relating to history, society and politics.
Modules
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
In your first year you will begin your language learning by focusing on reading, writing, listening and speaking, working with qualified native-speaker language teachers, using specially designed course material.
Through our Exploring East Asia module you will be provided with essential knowledge of the East Asia region, its history, politics, geography and culture. This will give you a greater understanding of Korea and Japan, what shaped them and how they may develop in the future.
At level 2 you will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of Korea and Japan through your optional modules, exploring disciplines such as history, politics or culture in more detail. Your modules will help you develop discipline specific skills which may include
- Analysing policy and writing policy briefs
- Critiquing visual art such as film
- Forming and debating a coherent argument
- reviewing historical texts
In your Korean language classes you will build on what you have learnt in your first year and focus on language which will help you on your year abroad. In Japanese language classes you will build your vocabulary to include roughly 400 words and furhter develop your grammer and spoken Japanese.
In your final year you will focus on developing your research skills through specially designed research focused modules.
In your Korean language classes you will be introduced to advanced topics such as translation, interpretation and workplace language skills such as CV writing and presenting.
