**Course Overview** - Master the specialist language skills of Chinese, Japanese or Korean and set yourself apart from other graduates on our Asia Pacific Studies Foundation Entry programme. - Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree. - Asia Pacific countries are playing an increasingly important role in the global economy. You’ll develop a wide range of knowledge about this dynamic region, drawing on language, international business studies and global politics. - You’ll study using the latest industry-standard equipment in professional interpreting suites and gain practical experience during a year abroad. No previous knowledge of your chosen language is required, (although we also offer post A Level routes). **Why study with us** - Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Asia Pacific Studies (Foundation Entry) is ranked 5th in the UK for student satisfaction (Complete University Guide 2021). - Asian Studies at the University is ranked in the UK's top 20 - Complete University Guide 2020. In 2004, we launched The International Institute of Korean Studies – it’s now one of the top three societies in the University and hosts regular events.
