Course summary
Immerse yourself in our multilingual world by learning Korean and exploring how language is structured and shaped by culture and identity.
Learn the skills you need to work in Korea or pursue an international career. It's a 4 year degree that includes a year studying in Korea. You will learn communicative Korean skills and gain a deep understanding of Korean culture. You will gain insight into different language structures and sociocultural practices as well as learning to communicate across cultures.
Study Korean whether you are a beginner or have some previous experience with the language. We will place you at the appropriate level of language learning when you arrive. By the end of the course you will be able to have conversations in Korean. You will learn to give presentations and write in Korean, allowing you to use the language for academic, social and professional purposes. You will usually reach the upper B2/C1 level on the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR). You can also choose to take the Proficiency in Korean Test at no extra cost. Please note that this course is not suitable for applicants who already have B1 level or above of the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR) in Korean.
Immerse yourself in Korean culture with a year studying abroad in South Korea. While abroad, you will take Korean language classes at your host university. You will also take classes taught in English or Korean that are relevant to your degree.
Our approach to teaching Intercultural Communication will give you both theoretical expertise and experience of communicating with people from different cultures. You will explore how language relates to speakers' intentions and purposes in social interaction. You will also examine how language choices can express identities and cultural values.
The Linguistics part of the course gives you a working knowledge of how language works, how we use it and how it is structured. You will explore how we articulate speech and how English differs around the world. You may also examine how the mind processes language.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
For all UK applicants, we look at six factors:
• Where you live
• Your school or college
• Age
• Disability
• First in family to study in HE
• Time in care
These six factors create a point score, which is then taken into account, along with standard criteria. The points don’t influence whether an offer is made but can influence the type of offer made, resulting in reduced or unconditional offers.
Full information is on our website, including scheme adaptations for individual courses.
