The second Curtin Korea Day took place in October, and featured fun competitions and opportunities to win Korean snacks. Students had an opportunity to try on the hanbok in front of our new media wall, and try their hand on some traditional Korean games.

For ALL undergraduate students in Western Australia with interest in Korea!
This event was open to all university students in Western Australia who have interest in Korea and Korean Studies so RSVP now as places are limited.
Curtin Korea Day featured a number of visiting speakers from current students to former graduates and visiting academics, who will focus on giving you examples of where your Korean Studies major or specialisation can take you – including study abroad opportunities. We will also hear from visiting students from Korea, and get active with lantern making using traditional Korean paper hanji, and calligraphy writing.

In conjunction with this event, we will be running a competition for both University and high school students to enter with separate categories for each.

2022 KRC Undergraduate Student Workshop

As COVID-19 restrictions are slowly being lifted, this year the KRC will host a one-day student workshop aimed at undergraduate students in particular. The workshop is open for any undergraduate students enrolled in a Korean Studies or Asian Studies major or minor at any Western Australian University.
The workshop will include short hands-on and interactive sessions such as "Where Can Your Korean Studies degree take You Next: Careers in Korean Studies"; "Further Postgraduate Study Opportunities in Korean Studies"; "Not-Exactly-Squid Game: Traditional Korean Games" (and yes there will be prizes but absolutely no violence!) and much more.
Look out for the announcement for our short writing competition on "Why Does Korean Studies Matter?" Scholarship Prizes will be announced on the day!
Free Korean lunch included for all registered participants!
2021 KRC Postgraduate eWorkshop
9-10 February 2021
The eWorkshop is designed to provide a forum for those enrolled in a research degree course such as PhD, MPhil or MRes in Korean Studies to present their research, and receive feedback and mentoring from established international scholars in the field of Korean Studies. Postgraduate students are invited to submit proposals for presentations that draw on their dissertation. PhD students should have passed their confirmation of candidature at the time of applying.
COVID-19 has resulted in traditional face-to-face conference formats migrating online, a transition that has made online presentation skills integral to academia. As such, one aim of this year’s workshop is to provide presenters with an opportunity to develop their online presentation skills. To do so, an eWorkshop format will be utilised.
