Korea and China have historically competed and cooperated with each other in many respects. The future of Sino-Korean relations calls for a more in-depth approach to Chinese language and culture, which is the focus of various courses provided by the Department. Students take courses from the beginner to advanced levels in Chinese conversation and practical Chinese, while deepening their understanding of modern China through a variety of visual and audio materials. Students progressively move to the advanced, comprehensive courses in linguistics such as phonology, literacy, old and modern grammar, cultural linguistics and literary genres like poetry, prose, dramas, essays, novels, literary theories, and literary criticism. The ultimate objective of these various curricula is to help students have an in-depth, comprehensive grasp of politics, economics, and society beyond Chinese language, literature, and culture.
Depending on individual preferences, various careers are available to graduates. For example, some graduates have engaged in businesses involving China and/or Taiwan. Others have worked as freelance translators. Still, others have earned graduate degrees from universities overseas and/or at home and have worked as professors or experts.
