To cultivate such abilities, the Department offers production programs similar to the actual production settings, as well as various systematic theoretical courses to complement those programs.

    Workshop-based courses for creation — The basic curriculum of the Department consists of multiple workshop courses. For the undergraduate program, students who acquired the basic rules of storytelling are required to take workshop courses that are systematically associated, such as studio and documentary workshops, as they move up to the next level. The skills acquired by students through the creative workshops are ultimately summarized and displayed in their graduation projects. The twoyear graduate program also focuses on creation of works through workshops and graduation projects. To complement the workshops, various courses on cinematography, editing, sound, screenwriting and theories are provided.
    Systematic convergence of theory and practice — The Department offers various production curricula for students to learn in depth about the general aspects and detailed processes of TV contents production, such as producing, directing, cinematography, editing and sound. Theoretical and methodological courses are also emphasized as they help students gain in-depth and critical insights about cultural and social phenomena, in order to produce real TV content creators. To this end, the Department offers courses that enable students to have a comprehensive understanding of media aesthetics as well as humanities and sociology in a modern society, and that arouse all kinds of intellectual curiosity about the digital media environment represented by multichannel and multimedia.
