Program overview
The Korean Language program, commonly referred to as the Korean major, teaches you from scratch to master Korean listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation, while also gaining an in-depth understanding of Korean culture, history, and society. Core courses include Basic Korean, Advanced Korean, Korean Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, as well as Translation Theory and Practice, Korean Literary History, and Korean Society and Culture. You will also explore practical areas like Business Korean and Tourism Korean. This program is ideal for students interested in Korean pop culture (K-pop, K-dramas) or those aiming to work in China-Korea trade, diplomacy, or education. Many Chinese universities, such as Peking University, Fudan University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, and Dalian University of Foreign Languages, offer strong Korean programs and have exchange programs with top Korean universities, allowing you to study in Korea for half a year to a year, immersing yourself in the language environment.
