UNDERGRADUATE
BURSARIES AND INTERNSHIPS
The British Korean Veterans' Association
is offering bursaries to undergraduate students on Korean programmes of
full-time academic study in which the study of the Korean language is an
integral part of the programme, and which requires the student to spend a full
academic session or part-session in Korea receiving intensive language tuition
for the period of the stay in Korea. You must apply through the British
Association for Korean Studies, using our application form.
The
British Association for Korean Studies also announces a scheme for the placement
of students as interns with British or Korean companies in Korea. The scheme is
open to any student in a British university regardless of nationality who is
registered for a named undergraduate Korean Studies degree programme that
requres the student to spend a mandatory academic session in Korea receiving
intensive language tuition. The internship would be taken up in conjunction with
the year abroad and would run for two months between June and September 2010 for
the current academic year. Those interested should complete an application.
