asian studies and comparative literature?

I'm considering this as a choice for when i go to uni as i have always loved and enjoyed asian culture and im pretty good at english literature.
It says on the website that you become competent in a asian language, so i was wondering, can i choose to learn Korean as i would like to learn that as a language other than Japanese or Mandarin.

Also, has anyone been on this course or something similar and what is your experience? thank you
Some universities offer Korean, but I can't say whether the university you're talking about does or not because you haven't said what one it is.

The University of Sheffield offers a very language intensive course in Korean studies-you will end up with a TOPIK level 6 ability in Korean by the end of the degree, as well as an enviable understanding of the history, politics, economy and social issues of the East Asia region :smile:

Oh ok thanks for letting me know have you taken this course? Im debating whenever to do something along those lines or a combined honours degree but does not cover korea.

I didn't do Korean studies, but I did do a course within the same department at Sheffield :smile:

Also, with any language, you have to spend a year abroad, with Korean studies at Sheffield, this will be during your 2nd year
