Korea National University of Arts (K'Arts) is located in Seoul, South Korea. There is a student dorm on campus that exchange students can live in during their stay. It is a school that teaches an equal amount of theory as it offers practice, and is mostly taught in Korean. A Korean language test is not required to be eligible for admission, however so a basic knowledge of the language is recommended if you want to know what people are talking about.
The curriculum is tightly structured, every day offers multiple courses and the pattern you choose repeats each week. The workload is considerable, as hand-ins for the separate courses are usually all at the same time. Each year students produce an entire animated film on their own.
Specialties: Illustraton, style, artistic vision and language
Course language: Korean spoken, but animation programs and tutorials are sometimes English
