Programme description
The Korean peninsula lies at the centre of landmark geopolitical developments in the early 21st century.
North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme and tensions between the two Koreas serve as stark reminders of the fragility of regional and global orders.
South Korea has become a major global economic player and an important actor in development assistance.
Additionally, Korean culture (including pop culture) has surged to global popularity over the past decade and exported across the globe.
Understanding Korean culture, history, current political and economic developments and international relations is therefore crucial to make sense of key processes in global security, economics and politics in Asia and beyond.
About our programme
The MSc in Korean Studies is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to critically engage with these developments through recognised Masters-level training in both Korean Studies and East Asian Studies with a focus on: history; society; the economy; urban studies; public policy; politics and international relations.
Career opportunities
You will acquire an interdisciplinary understanding of key issues in Korean society, politics and international relations, history and economics and will be able to relate those to broader social, political, and economic trends in the East Asian region and globally.
You will be able to engage various disciplinary and theoretical perspectives and apply concepts to empirical cases.
You will also gain the necessary knowledge and skills to analyse, compare and assess competing claims and make informed judgements about them.
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in a relevant discipline.
