A comparsion between beauty therapy the curriculum focus on Korean and the UK's Bachelor degree course
Ji-Hye Song, Kum-Lan Kim
ABSTRACT
Recently, beauty therapy’s education value is rapidly increasing in Korea. It includes Foundation, Bachelor, Master and Ph. D courses. However, the curriculum differs depending on the level. This study aims at suggesting the fundamental data in establishing the academic identity of beauty therapy by comparing the curricula between Korea and the UK. This data collected via the university website and the catalogs, therefore it may limitation of study. In the Korean education system, beauty therapy at college level gives students the basic skills. Whilst there are many similarities between college and degree level students, at degree level, students build on their basic skills by learning in depth methods as well as the theories. Many further education institutes offer a variety of course names however fundamentally they all have the same curriculum regardless of the title. In the UK, beauty therapy has fixed levels ranging from 1-6 (levels 5-6 are higher education). British students have the opportunity to study both business and marketing, as this is a main focus of their education. Below level 4 is further education, which includes all qualifications below degree level – often including more choice and more practical subjects. But each British colleges use different curriculum depends on what is the course’s title. In this analysis of the South Korean and the UK curriculum of beauty therapy I hope that it will positively effect new curriculums in Korea.
Key words: Beauty therapy, Curriculum, Bachelor’s degree course
