 About the Sejong Institute

The Sejong Institute, at the KCCUK, is a social education course that not only teaches the Korean language but also introduces Korean culture to students.

From 2011, the course has been reinvigorated and re-modelled. These three new courses explore contemporary Korean Culture through the language with modules including, cuisine, music, fashion, movies, society and working in Korea to name but a few.

The Course includes practical activities such as gallery tours, food classes and singing Korean songs to help students develop their Korean language in a modern context.

Upon completing the course students are able to express themselves in Korean on a vast range of topics.
