      Master Programmes in Korean

      Korean is spoken by millions of people living in South Korea, North Korea and in several Chinese prefectures. However, slight differences in word usage and grammar exists between the Korean language spoken by South and North Koreans. Learning Korean also involves learning dialectical differences based on tonal and idiomatic dissimilarities. However, these dialects are partially intelligible and generally pose little problem when communicating in either districts.

      South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea, is a sovereign country located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The name "Korea" is derived from Goryeo, a dynasty which ruled in the Middle Ages. South Korea is now a liberal democracy and an economic powerhouse. The most prestigious comprehensive universities are Seoul National University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Yonsei University and Korea University.

      Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
      Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
