Scholarship / Study Plan; KGSP 2017 - Masters in Art History; to learn the language and achieve a high TOPIK score [5]

Hello, everyone.
I am applying for a Masters in Art History and I'm required to write a study plan for it. To be honest, I'm quite baffled as to what I should write because I haven't done anything like this before. Also, my Bachelors is in a whole other area of study...

Anyways, the prompt is:

Goal of study, title or subject of research, and detailed study plan

Study plan

During the first year of my stay in Korea, naturally, I expect to learn the language and achieve a high TOPIK score. Due to my great interest, I have been teaching myself Korean for the past year, so I have a most basic understanding of the language. However, being immersed in the culture itself will surely allow me to become a proficient speaker. I understand there will be a lot of challenges to tackle and a lot of hard work to be done, but I am looking forward to it and will do my very best.

In regards to pursuing a Master's degree - I chose Art History because of my passion for the subject. In spite of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in International Business, my true ardor has always been art. I strongly believe it has more to it than simply museum pieces, aesthetically pleasing to the eye. No, art is a media humans have mastered, through which they convey their emotions and reactions to changes in both their internal and external environment. One can learn a lot about the world and any undergoing transformations from examining even a single painting. This is why, through studies, I want to become someone who helps people understand the importance of art in the development and shaping of our society. Furthermore, I want to be able to inspire and instill a passion for art in others.

I would like to focus my studies on the history of Modern and Contemporary art since they reflect on issues of our recent history. My concern lies especially with Painting, both Western and Eastern, but I would not disregard other works of art. Considering the fact that nowadays Korea has become one of the leaders in feminist art, I would like to gain an in-depth knowledge about the evolution of the movement and its response to current global issues.

Equally important are Curatorial studies, through which I expect to gain an understanding of institutional and exhibition practices and forms. I intend to reinforce my theoretical knowledge with frequent visits to Seoul's museums and galleries, as well as, if possible - internships. This will allow me to acquire practical skills and know-how in curation.

I believe that an academic institution which provides the individual with an environment of diversity and freedom of expression is crucial to the development of good professionals. Being able to contribute to society and being beneficial to the growth of others are factors valued highly by me, so choosing a university which provides with the conditions necessary for doing so, together with quality education, is very important. And I am confident I have made the right choice.

I'm expecting your feedback and suggestions for improvement. ^^
