Guided module choice and not-for-credit modules
If you aren't studying a language degree but would still like to experience learning Korean at university, you can do so through Languages for All. Languages for All is a university-wide scheme for all students wishing to develop foreign language skills, either by learning a new language from scratch, or continuing to build on existing language experience.
Undergraduate
If you have some experience of modern language learning, you can take Korean language modules either as part of your degree (guided module choice) or alongside your degree (not-for-credit modules) as an extra-curricular activity. Please follow the link below for more information on how this works:
Postgraduate
If you are a postgraduate taught student, you can study not-for-credit modules in Korean as an extra-curricular activity in addition to your studies.
Postgraduate research students can study Korean modules on a not-for-credit basis alongside their research. These may be included in your Doctoral Development Programme (DDP) portfolio if relevant to your doctoral research and/or career development.
