The aim of the Certificate Programme is to take students from an absolute beginner’s stage up to an advanced knowledge of both the Korean language and culture. By the end of the third level, students will have a sound command of both spoken and written Korean as well as an understanding of Korean culture and traditions.
The Certificate Programme in Korean consists of three levels and comprises three main courses of 100 hours each (Korean for Beginners/Intermediate Korean/Advanced Korean). Three optional summer courses (Beginners / Intermediate / Advanced) will also be offered.
At the end of the first or second level of study, it is recommended that students spend a period of time in Korea to practice their acquired language skills and enhance their understanding of Korean culture. The School of Modern Languages and Cultures will assist in making arrangements for these studies.
After successful completion of 200 hours of tuition (Intermediate level) and a pass in coursework, students can obtain a Statement of Attendance and Proficiency from the School of Modern Languages and Cultures. After successful completion of the 3-level programme and obtaining a pass in the Certificate Examination, students will be awarded the School of Modern Languages and Cultures Certificate in Korean. In order to qualify for admission to the Certificate Examination students must have completed about 300 hours of tuition in Korean.
