- gain an in-depth insight into how culture, cinema, history, politics and society shape the countries where your chosen language is spoken
- develop the knowledge and understanding you need to engage with people in their native language
- have the opportunity to study Korean from Stage 2
Benefit from the flexibility of an optional Year Abroad or UK Careers Placement
Shape your degree to suit your personal and professional goals with one of three flexible options. You can choose to:
- spend a year abroad in your third year to develop your language skills among native speakers and experience a different culture
- undertake a Careers Placement Year in the UK in your third year to gain valuable work experience
- complete your degree in 3 years without spending time on a Year Abroad or on a Careers Placement Year
Regardless of what you choose to do, you will confirm this with us in Stage 2 after receiving guidance and support.
Unlock global career opportunities
You will be well positioned to take advantage of exciting new career opportunities emerging from Britain's growing connections with East Asia, as China's economic and political power continues to rise alongside Japan's diplomatic importance.
