I'm applying for a Korean BA and am on a gap year right now. I was wondering how often students will need to be on campus every week/how many hours per week of self study/assignments would have to be completed on average.
I am planning to have a part-time job and hobbies on the side so was wondering if it would be reasonable to balance.

Hi,
Good luck with your application!
So, with BA Korean you'd have 8 hrs/ week of Korean in your first year. You will have two other modules usually, adding 4 more hours to your week. So, twelve hours of contact per week. You will need to put an equal amount of self-study to stay at the top of what you have learnt in class. Language study would usually require to submit weekly homework, which is not actually assignments but you will be advised to stay at the top of it. There will be midterms and end of the term test/exams for the langauge.
It is definitely possible to have hobbies and a part time job, I have one. (I did Intensive Persian in my first year). But it will definitely require you to have good time management skills, as an intensive language course is quite demanding.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, if you have any more question!
Best wishes,
A
MA Iranian Studies and Intensive Persian
