박사과정은 상담 현장 경험과 연구가 자연스럽게 연결되며 실제 상담에 큰 도움이 되었습니다. 교수님들의 지도 아래 학문적·개인적 비전을 세울 수 있었고, 다문화·이민 가정 연구가 실제 대상자에게 바로 도움이 되어 큰 보람을 느끼고 있습니다. 시간과 에너지가 많이 들지만 그만큼 전문성과 정체성이 단단해지고 있음을 확신합니다. 현장 경험을 깊이 통합하고 자신만의 연구 주제로 성장하고 싶다면 이 박사과정을 진심으로 추천합니다.

저희 대학의 가장 큰 자랑 중 하나는 호주 교육부로부터 한국어로 논문을 제출할 수 있는 인가를 받은 최초의 대학이라는 점입니다. 이를 통해 학생들은 모국어로 생각을 깊이 있게 표현하며 높은 수준의 논문을 완성할 수 있습니다. 저는 이 점을 자랑스럽게 생각합니다.

저에게 AC 한국어 박사과정은 학문과 신앙이 조화를 이루는 배움의 현장이었습니다. 탁월한 한국과 호주 교수님들의 깊은 통찰과 성경적 지혜를 통해 관심 분야를 새롭게 이해하고 탐구할 수 있었습니다. 여러분도 저와 함께 AC 한국어 학부에서 새로운 사명과 비전을 시작해 보시기 바랍니다.

박사과정을 통해 저는 하나님을 더 깊이 알아가고, 그분의 은혜를 더욱 풍성히 맛보며, 신앙과 신학이 성숙해지는 은혜를 누리고 있습니다. 만학도인 제게 기쁨과 소중한 기회를 준 AC 한국어 박사과정에 많은 한인교회 성도들이 동참해서 구원의 확신과 기쁨이 넘쳐나길 소망합니다.
