International opportunities
In the Australian context, South Korea (with its 50-million strong population) is the fourth largest trading partner and third largest global export market. Commonwealth and state government departments need expertise on Korean affairs.
With growing people-to-people exchanges between the Koreas and Australia, there are various aspects of international collaboration in technology, science and engineering, urban design, arts, culture, and environment. If you want to work in bilateral relations in these areas, in-depth and critical knowledge of Korea is a significant asset.
