Bachelor in K-Culuture Education

Busan University of Foreign Studies, located in Geumjeong-gu, South Korea, offers the K-Culuture Education program as a bachelor's degree taught in English over four years. This program focuses on Korean popular and traditional culture, examining subjects such as Korean media, music, film, language, and cultural history, along with how these elements are taught, presented, and shared with audiences both inside and outside Korea. Students typically study the development of Korean cultural industries, including entertainment and media production, alongside coursework on cultural education methods and cross-cultural communication. Coursework often blends the study of cultural content itself with practical or pedagogical training in how to teach or communicate Korean culture to international audiences, which may include language instruction, cultural history, and media analysis. Given that the program is based in South Korea, students are positioned to study Korean culture directly within the country where it originates, drawing on local resources, institutions, and cultural events as part of their coursework. Graduates from a program of this kind are commonly prepared for roles in cultural education, content creation, tourism and cultural exchange organizations, media companies focused on Korean content, and language or culture instruction, as well as further study in Korean studies, cultural studies, or education. Delivering the program in English allows international students to study Korean culture and its educational applications without first needing to be fluent in Korean, while still being immersed in a Korean university and city environment. Students admitted through the intakes offered every March and September follow a four-year path through this cultural and educational curriculum.
