Visual Arts
The very first doctoral degree program for creative minds, the Doctor of Fine Arts program in Visual Studies aims at the expansion of creative methodologies in arts with the emphasis on aesthetics and humanities. It encourages each enrolled student to strengthen his/her own artistic expertise in various areas, namely visual art, narrative cinema, media art, documentary, critical studies, or production. Each student is required to develop and complete a written thesis on a subject related to his/her own creative practice in addition to realizing a creative project. Embracing the pedagogic philosophy to incorporate multiple disciplines, critical or artistic, our DFA program serves to broaden and deepen specialized discourses on arts and cultures and is committed to nurturing future and working artists, designers, film directors, producers, creative directors, critics, and educators.
