DurationKorean Studies offers a balanced program of language study and understanding of Korea’s history, society and vibrant culture.
From BTS to Squid Game, Korean culture (under many different names) has become a staple of global media. In its recent updates, the Oxford English Dictionary included tens of Korean words such as chimaek (fried chicken served with beer) and galbi (a dish of beef short ribs).
What does the recent rise of Korea tell us about this dynamic country in East Asia and its people? How is the global presence and popularity of Korean popular culture relevant to our perception of today’s world.
Korean Studies at the University of Auckland answers these questions and offers a balanced program combining language study and interdisciplinary studies, teaching interesting topics about traditional, modern, and contemporary Korea.
