Disciplinary and multidisciplinary knowledge:
Students will become familiar with the culture and language of Korean, business etiquette and behavioural norms in Korea, to ensure greater adaptability to doing business in Korean and more generally, in a fast moving, globalised world.
Intellectual and creative skills:
Students will be able to express themselves in business Korean using formal forms and honorific forms, write their resume and cover letter, and interact with native speakers during interviews, telephone conversations and via emails. This will help equip them with the foundation to learn and master the language at
higher levels later on.
Interpersonal skills:
Students will be able to communicate with Korean speaking people, as well as understand the nuances in verbal and non-verbal interactions in this unique culture. This helps to enhance their ability to engage and connect with people from Korea, as well as other North Asian cultures, in the business context and otherwise.
Global citizenship:
Students will be able to understand and appreciate the culture of Korea, and the history, geopolitical, business etiquette and economic background that has contributed to the current spread of the Korean cultural phenomenon. This allows them to appreciate the differences and similarities of cultures, but also the interconnectedness of global cultures and economies and how language and culture can be powerful connectors
