Korean Subject regulations
Korean aims to provide students with a sound understanding of the Korean language, as well as Korean history, culture, and society.
Korean may also be taken as a minor in other undergraduate degrees, subject to approval of the Division in which the student is enrolled.
The point of entry into the Korean language papers depends on previous experience. Those with no previous experience of Korean, take KOREA131 followed by KOREA231 in the subsequent year. Students with 14 credits at Level 3 in NCEA Korean or equivalent, will gain direct entry into KOREA232. Students with excellent results at Level 2 in NCEA Korean or equivalent, may, at the discretion of the Convenor of Korean, begin with KOREA232. Native speakers of Korean may not enrol in KOREA131, KOREA231, KOREA232, KOREA331 or KOREA332. Students whose heritage language is Korean and who wish to enrol in a Korean language acquisition paper should contact a lecturer in the subject to determine the appropriate level. Please consult with the Programme Convenor for advice on entry point into Korean language acquisition papers.
Students are encouraged to contact the Division of Arts, Law, Psychology and Social Sciences Office for programme advice.
