UWA is the only university in WA that offers a comprehensive Korean studies major, so it seemed like the obvious choice to me. Throughout my childhood I’ve always had a fascination with languages, so when I enrolled at UWA I had the opportunity to combine that love of languages with my interest in Korean culture. UWA’s course structure gives an amazing opportunity to go on a student exchange. With the numerous Korean host universities available, it seemed like a no brainer. UWA also gives you the flexibility to study various subjects, which allows you to explore all your interests. From first year I have been involved with the Korean Cultural Club, which has given me the opportunity to socialise with various universities around Perth and be involved with hosting several Korean-related events.
