Curriculum Structure
Core competencies represent overall learning outcomes as well as learning goals. Through curriculum planning and following the institute's course framework—aside from required core courses and group-required courses—elective courses are categorized into three areas: "Research and Heritage," "Multimedia Applications," and "Performance and Practice." All of these are coordinated with the development of core competencies to complement and reinforce one another.
