ABOUT US

The Department of Music at National Sun Yat-sen University was established in 1989, with its master’s program founded in 1994. Dedicated to cultivating music professionals with strong artistic and humanistic qualities, the department has continued to grow through the efforts of its faculty, students, and alumni.

In 2001, the department relocated to the College of Liberal Arts Building, providing students with well-equipped facilities including a recording studio, rehearsal rooms, specialized classrooms, practice rooms, and extensive music resources.
