The MA/MFA in Playwriting at Korea National University of Arts is a graduate program offered through the School of Drama in Seoul. The program focuses on developing skilled playwrights who can create original theatrical works for stage and contemporary performance. It aims to train students in dramatic writing, storytelling, and theatrical structure while encouraging them to explore creative and experimental approaches to modern theatre.

The program usually takes about two to three years depending on the degree structure and combines theoretical study with intensive writing practice. Students study subjects such as dramatic writing techniques, play structure, theatre history, dramaturgy, and script analysis. Through these courses, students learn how to construct compelling narratives, develop characters, and write scripts suitable for stage performance and theatrical production.

Practical creative work is an important part of the program. Students regularly develop original plays, participate in writing workshops, and collaborate with directors, actors, and stage designers to bring their scripts to life. These collaborative projects help students understand the full theatrical production process and refine their writing through rehearsals, script readings, and staged performances.

Graduates of the Playwriting program often pursue careers as professional playwrights, theatre writers, dramaturgs, screenwriters, or theatre directors. The program prepares students to work in theatre companies, cultural institutions, film and television writing, or academic research in dramatic literature and theatre studies.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
