Scholarship / KGSP graduate embassy track personal statement idea: Korean linguistics [4]
Thank you for your opinion!
For my thesis I was thinking about focusing on the use of terms in the Korean medical field that are English loan words and explore if they are perceived accurately by patients (or something along those lines). This would combine my ugrad major, Korean linguistics and translation. Still won't do?
One thing I should mention is, my country doesn't have a Korean linguistics (or Korean anything) major, but looking at the last few years' results of the successful KGSP-G candidates from my country, they all got into the Korean Language and Literature department. That must mean they had studied something else for their undergrad.
Perhaps I could still study Korean linguistics (I did study linguistics after all, just English, so I do have that general linguistic base), but further go into something other than translation? Become a Korean professor in my home country? Any other suggestions?
