About
Korea National University of Arts
Location: Seoul
Year Established: 1993
Student population: 3,100
About
Korea National University of Arts (K-Arts) was established by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to address a shortage of professional artists in Korea. It provides a practical education by world-renowned maestros, artists and professors in excellent facilities across music, drama, film and multimedia, theatre, film, dance, art, and traditional art.
Highlights
K-Art aims to produce professional artists. The curriculum is designed to improve students’ production skills as well as develop their creative potential. Students are supported to create and showcase their own works. The six schools - School of Music, School of Drama, School of Dance, School of Visual Arts, School of Film, TV & Multimedia, and the School of Korean Traditional Arts – each functions as an independent institution, but there is a high degree of interaction and collaboration.
Unique characteristics
The School of Music offers innovative, intensive courses, with one-on-one exposure to leading professors and performers to enable students to find their unique creative voice. The School has won countless international awards. There are 92 individual practice rooms as well as a Computer Music Technology Lab, an Ensemble Room, Percussion Room, Opera Practice Room, Orchestral Room, and KNUA Hall equipped with a Baroque pipe organ. With more than 140 concerts a year and regular performances by the student orchestra, string ensemble, wind orchestra, choir, and opera, students are exposed to life as professional musicians.
Location
A huge city of more than 10.5 million people, Seoul is an economic and business powerhouse that also boasts a unique history and numerous pleasant pastimes. You can hike on Namsan, see architectural innovation at the UNESCO City of Design, visit the Demilitarized Zone and sample the city’s history with numerous temples, palaces, tea houses and galleries. The food is wonderful, as is the nightlife, the saunas and the art and culture.
