I think there are two main reasons for the problematic employment of students majoring in fine art. One is the nature of the major. Art major is a creative major and does not have a solid professional attribute.
‘ Of course, in uncertain economic times, any student graduating from university is no longer guaranteed a job. If this is true of students graduating with degrees in such career fields as business, law, and teaching, it is even truer in the creative field.’ Kobe said.
The other reason is that some students don’t like this major, so it’s hard for them to stick with it and become an artist, and they change careers and do something else.
So far, what I want to do is focus on the second reason.
I checked the website of UAL subject, UAL insight, and UAL foundation course. I would like to know how UAL introduce the different courses and help the student find the most suitable course.
Then I found that the UAL foundation course is quite similar to my project. This course provides a broad range of experience to help the student decide their future direction.
I think this is a great opportunity for students who can afford the course and are willing to spend a year exploring it. But what about the other students? Especially for international students, one year’s tuition and living expenses are also quite a lot. Maybe I can focus on other groups of students on this issue.
