Master in Beauty Art

Beauty Art is a master's program at Youngsan University in Haeundae-gu, South Korea, taught in English over two years. The discipline covers the theory and practice of cosmetics, hairstyling, skincare, and makeup artistry, along with the business side of the beauty industry, including product development, brand marketing, and salon or spa management. Students typically study techniques used in makeup application, hair design, and skincare treatments, alongside the trends and consumer behavior that shape the global beauty market, an area where South Korea plays a significant role. Graduates in this field often pursue careers as makeup artists, hairstylists, beauty educators, and product developers for cosmetics companies, as well as managers of salons, spas, and beauty clinics. Others move into roles in beauty brand marketing, product research and development, or media and entertainment industries that require styling and makeup expertise for film, television, and fashion. Given South Korea's prominence in the global cosmetics and skincare industry, this background can also lead to roles connecting Korean beauty trends and products with international markets. New students can enter the program in March or September, and instruction in English is designed to attract students interested in studying beauty industry practices associated with South Korea. Haeundae-gu, a district in Busan known for its fashion and lifestyle scene, offers a relevant setting for studying beauty trends and business practices, giving students exposure to an industry that has become closely associated with Korean culture and consumer products worldwide.
