This major involves understanding stage expressions such as acting, dance, singing, and playing instruments, as well as acquiring all processes necessary for performances behind the scenes, including production technology, directing, scriptwriting, stage design, lighting, recording, and sound.

The Global Culture and Arts Convergence Department is a dedicated department for international students and, as it admits students beyond the regular quota, there is no limit on enrollment capacity. Currently, students are being recruited through the 2024 academic year Samyook University international new and transfer admissions (September entry). Applications are accepted until August 2 through JinHakApply.

Applicants must be foreigners with foreign nationality for both themselves and their parents. Korean language proficiency requires TOPIK level 2 or higher, or passing Samyook University’s own SU-TOPIK test. After comprehensive document evaluation and interviews, the first new students will be welcomed this September.

Students who have completed more than one year at Samyook University Korean Language Institute before admission will receive a 30% tuition discount for their first semester. Additionally, scholarships of up to 100% will be awarded differentially based on TOPIK grades at admission and academic performance during enrollment.

President Je Hae-jong of Samyook University stated, “As this is a department dedicated to international students, we plan to provide customized specialized curricula and systematic management and support for learning and university adaptation,” adding, “We will attract outstanding international students and strengthen the university’s internationalization capabilities.”
