MiKyoung Jung
MA graduate shows work in the USA
MiKyoung Jung, from South Korea, graduated with an MA in Glass in August 2007. It was the expertise of the tutors and the facilities in the Glass and Ceramics department that encouraged her to apply to the University of Sunderland. The location of the course, in the National Glass Centre, was also very attractive.
During her course MiKyoung felt she really benefited from the visiting artists who came in to share their knowledge and expertise. She also found it useful to attend conferences both in and outside of the University.
When asked what she enjoyed the most about studying at the University of Sunderland, MiKyoung said: "Developing my art work and using all the excellent facilities were the things I enjoyed the most."
She went on to say: "It has been the tutorials that have helped me the most during my career so far."
MiKyoung would advise all new students to take advantage of as many challenges as possible and to make the most of all the opportunities on offer.
After graduating from Sunderland MiKyoung headed off to Australia to study a PhD at Sydney College of the Arts.
As well as continuing with her studies MiKyoung is also a practising artist. She will soon show her work at the prestigious 'International Exposition of Sculptural Objects and Functional Art' (SOFA) in Chicago, USA.
