    M.K.

    Major in Aesthetics and Art History, Faculty of Letters

In this major, you can explore a wide range of artistic fields, including fine art, music, theater, and art management. Another appeal is the lectures that incorporate practical experiences such as visiting exhibitions. A distinctive feature of this major is its positioning within the field of philosophy, allowing students to tackle fundamental questions such as, "What is beauty?" In this major, you will cultivate an approach that goes beyond simply "seeing" and "feeling" art to "thinking" about it by analyzing it with words. The ability to analyze and critique works from multiple perspectives will surely be very useful in the real world.
