Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This degree combines Korean language learning with the study of how language is structured and shaped by culture and identity. You'll usually begin with foundational literary study and critical thinking, building close reading skills across poetry, prose and drama, alongside introductions to how language works.

In later years, you'll have space for specialist options such as creative writing, Shakespeare and early modern studies, contemporary fiction, critical theory, world literature, and publishing pathways. You'll typically complete an advanced research project or dissertation, allowing you to pursue your own literary and linguistic interests in depth.
Who it's for
This course suits you if you're interested in Korean language, how people communicate across different cultural contexts, and the structure of language itself. Most entrants hold A-levels or equivalent qualifications; accepted students typically had a UCAS tariff of 96–111 points.

International students
What applying to York St John University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £12,100 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check York St John University’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with York St John University and gov.uk before you apply.
