Master in Esthetics

Esthetics is a master's program at Youngsan University in Haeundae-gu, South Korea, taught in English over two years. This discipline focuses on skincare science and treatment, covering topics such as skin anatomy, facial treatments, cosmetic ingredient science, and the techniques used in professional skincare and beauty clinics. Students typically study how different skin types and conditions are assessed and treated, along with the equipment, products, and protocols used in esthetic and skincare services. Graduates from this field pursue careers as estheticians, skincare consultants, and spa or clinic managers, as well as roles in the research and development of cosmetic and skincare products. Others move into education, training future estheticians, or into sales and marketing positions for skincare and beauty brands. Because South Korea is recognized internationally for its skincare industry and product innovation, this background can lead to roles connecting Korean skincare expertise and products with international markets and consumers. The program admits new students in March and September, with English-medium instruction supporting an international student body drawn to South Korea's reputation in skincare and beauty science. Haeundae-gu, located in Busan, provides a setting connected to the beauty and wellness industry, giving students access to clinics, spas, and businesses relevant to hands-on training in esthetics. Studying in this environment allows students to combine academic coursework with exposure to current practices and product trends within a country closely associated with skincare innovation.
