Korea is a neighboring country that has historically been active in both cultural and economic exchanges. In recent years, it has become increasingly familiar to students through music and other activities. In the Korean Course, students will be exposed to the "living Korean language" of native teachers while learning in a practical manner. At the same time, they will deepen their comprehensive understanding of Korean history and culture, as well as the culture of East Asia.
Department of Language Studies Korean Course Close-UP
There are lots of ways to study abroad Programs sponsored by partner schools are held during the summer vacations and allow students to learn the Korean language in a short period through language classes and cultural experiences. In Korean exchange study abroad, students dramatically improve your Korean language ability and gain a deeper understanding of Korean history and culture by studying abroad for a long period of time. In the Korean exchange program, students can drastically improve their Korean language skills and gain a deeper understanding of Korean history and culture through a long-term exchange program.
After thoroughly mastering the basics of South Korea through compulsory courses, students will increase their linguistic level while also learning about East Asian culture, and in 3rd year seminar, students will take the initiative in managing their own classes to improve their linguistic ability. In their final year, they will use South Korea they have acquired up to that point in their graduation thesis, graduation project, or graduation seminar to make a presentation on South Korea language and culture. We aim to nurture talented individuals who will be able to play an active role in Japan-Korea business and cultural exchange after graduation.
Practice Korean For those who are learning Korean for the first time, this course teaches how to write and read the Hangul alphabet and learn basic grammar items and expressions based on them. Thereafter, students will improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in a well-balanced manner.
Basic Korean The purpose of Basic Korean I and III is to build a foundation in Korean language through understanding the structure of the Korean alphabet, "Hangul," learning how to read and write it, and systematically learning basic grammar. The aim is to acquire correct Korean pronunciation, be able to communicate in simple Korean, and deepen interest and understanding of South Korea history and culture.

About our GPA System
The intent behind our implementation of a GPA (Grade Point Average) system is to (1) create a unified standard for the campus, (2) have it function as an impartial standard, and (3) have it function as an internationally accepted standard. Our GPA system involves the assessment learning achievements using an objective numerical value called GPA. Additionally, this system generally conforms with the grade assessment systems adopted by universities in the West, and can be used overseas as an index used to certify a student’s academic ability when studying abroad, when going on to graduate school overseas, when finding employment at a non-Japanese companies operating in Japan, and so on.

About Academic Grades
Academic grades are assessed based on final examinations at the end of the semester (written exams, oral exams, practical exams, or reports). However, depending on courses, mini tests, reports, attendance, and academic progress during class may be evaluated as regular points, or assessments may be carried out based on the regular points only.
Academic grades are issued on the transcript with only the evaluation.
Courses which students have passed once cannot be erased or retaken.
Grades will be published on Campus Square every semester.
If you have questions about your grades, such as not receiving a grade despite taking an exam (submitting a report) after the results have been announced, please come to school at the beginning of the next semester (in principle, by the first week of classes) and ask your teacher directly. If your teacher has left the school and you are unable to make inquiries, please notify the Academic Affairs Office.
