Project Description

This project forms a key component of an undergraduate unit of study that has a focus on the Korean economy, its experiences, policies, and economic diplomacy. Students will learn about emerging opportunities with Australia's fourth largest trading partner, and the significance of the recently signed Korea Australia Free Trade Agreement.

Specifically, the project is a one week visit by two Professors from Yonsei University who will give lectures and intensive workshops on the Korean economy to Australian students enrolled in this unit of study. This will be reciprocated with a visit by two Professors from the University of Sydney to Yonsei University who will undertake similar workshops for Korean students on the Australian economy and its trade policies. The project seeks to produce a new cohort of young Australian and Korean graduates capable of engaging in, and promoting, the Australia-Korean bilateral economic relationship.
