Bachelor in Webtoon

Webtoon at Youngsan University trains students in the digital comics format that originated in Korea and is read primarily on mobile devices and the web. Coursework typically covers storytelling and scriptwriting, character design, digital illustration, panel layout adapted for vertical scrolling, and the software tools used to produce and publish webtoons. Students usually work through the full production process, from developing a story concept and drawing characters to laying out panels and coloring finished pages, often building a portfolio of original webtoon work over the course of the program. Because webtoons are published and read digitally, coursework also tends to touch on platform requirements, serialized storytelling, and how creators build and maintain an audience over ongoing chapters. Graduates commonly pursue roles as webtoon artists, illustrators, or writers, working independently, for webtoon platforms, or within broader comics and animation studios, with some moving into related fields such as animation, game art, or general illustration. Webtoon is offered as a bachelor's degree at Youngsan University in Haeundae-gu, South Korea, with instruction delivered in English. The program spans four years of full-time study, with intakes in March or September. Students considering this major should expect coursework that blends drawing and digital illustration practice with narrative development, since sustaining a serialized story across many chapters requires both artistic skill and consistent storytelling discipline.
