Language Study Abroad Program
All students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Language Study Abroad Program in Korea. Korean has exchange agreements with four prominent universities (Korea University, Pukyong National University, Pusan National University and Yonsei University). While each exchange has its own features, collectively they provide a wide range of opportunities for students to study in Korea. Students can choose to study in-country units in Semesters One or Two. For detailed information see the Korean web page. The credit arrangements vary and need to be clearly verified with the coordinator before a student can be assured of receiving credit.
Grants for study are available through Monash Abroad, to whom applications should be addressed. Third and fourth-year students may also apply for a Korean Government scholarship.
Please note: depending on the teaching institution, Korean study abroad units may be HECS-HELP liable or only available on a fee-paying basis.
For a full list of units see Korean: Language Study Abroad Units . NB : students may replace some of their core language units with alternate intensive in-country units up to 24 points or students can choose language study abroad units as electives. You must obtain written approval from the Korean Studies Program before enrolling. Contact the program as early as possible for further details on study abroad possibilities.
Teaching language requirements:
If you intend to teach language you will need to complete an Advanced major with a proficiency level exit point of at least 10 (e.g. KOR3100).
