Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA)

Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA), the first arts university in Taiwan, is a leading contemporary arts institution in Asia. TNUA currently has seven schools: Music, Fine Arts, Theatre Arts, Dance, Film and New Media, Culture Resources, and Humanities. There are nine departments, nineteen Graduate institutes, five Doctoral programs, and one master’s degree program completely taught in English. This English taught program, the International MA Program in Cultural and Creative Industries (IMCCI) is a unique interdisciplinary program at TNUA. Students at IMCCI will have opportunities to take elective courses across the university. Drawing on critical theory and cultural studies, this program provides a foundation in the structure and history of art, and explores practical and theoretical issues facing artists, curators, art entrepreneurs, professionals, and art policy-makers today.

Adhering to the spirit of “set foot on Guandu, look at the world”, TNUA is not only Taiwan’s leading art school, but also the leader of the Asian League of Institutes of the Arts (ALIA). Its integrity and comprehensiveness are at home and abroad. Education and practice echo each other and make use of each other to form an excellent field for artistic talented people.
