Most of the first year modules seem to be language related. Though there is one that isn't with assessments as follows.

Reflective portfolio, developed throughout the year to cover all topics covered.

An end of year, short answer exam which will test students’ knowledge and understand of all the topics covered throughout the year.

Messaged you :biggrin:
I know this is a bit late but I'm going to apply for Korean studies this year, I didn't do it at GCSE or A-Level but I did GCSE Chinese and got a grade 9 (A**) and know a bit of Korean already. None of my A-Levels are language related but are more to do with social sciences, I'm wondering if you think I'll be able to get in

Yeah, you have a chance. Languages to A Level are not a requirement for Korean Studies.
Are you by any chance a student there? If so, how are the facilities and the leaching? How was your year abroad and would you recommend applying?

I was a student (Did Chinese Studies with Japanese). Graduated back in 2016 so am not familiar with the new curriculum they've introduced since I left unfortunately.

Hi there, Sheffield graduate here, I'd recommend speaking to current students using our 'Chat to Us' platform here on the Sheffield University website.

You can filter the students on there by the course they are currently studying so you can speak to someone who will know what it is like to be a student in the School of East Asian Studies :smile:

Let me know if you have any further questions about Sheffield or your course (I can try and answer them as best as I can, even though I studied Engineering!)
