Project Description

Five students who were North Korean defectors (who are now South Korean citizens) will study up to 30 weeks of English in Sydney at UTS:INSEARCH.

These scholarships will help the students to communicate in English to gain confidence and interact for study, careers and cultural engagement. Students will enhance their listening, reading, writing and conversation skills in English to prepare for international collaboration.

The project aims to strengthen the relationship between Australia and South Korea at an educational and community level and enhance cultural understandings.

A three-year memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Unification, Republic of Korea, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia, and UTS:INSEARCH has been signed to support this program.

Key dates:

• Welcome event for new students, Sydney, 29 August 2017
• Students visit to Canberra, Canberra, September 2017
