Art connects people across times and cultures, and because it is both universal and culturally
specific, it is a powerful means of increasing interpersonal and intercultural relationships.
Through the study of the arts, students gain a greater understanding of their regional customs
as well as global culture and relations.
There are over a hundred courses for art students in Nigerian universities. For some students, it might be a challenge to pick what field to explore their passion for the arts in. This article is here to guide
you.
Top Courses for Art Students
In no order, here are four professional courses for art students you can study in Nigeria with jobs you can
work after your education.

Consultant. Along with the other courses in this article, it is internationally recognized.
4. Theatre Arts
This course is very popular amongst arts students in Nigeria. From music to drama, art is
embroidered in the fabric of society and it finds so many expressions especially in modern
times. Theatre Arts is a field for careers such as musical directing, producing, and acting.
Theatre Arts could even lead you down paths as diverse as writing, drama therapy or dancing!
One good point to note about the majority of art courses is the flexibility the student has to
branch into many intersections of art as added experience. With the right information and
exposure, a Mass Communication student may try out social media management, marketing or
advertising and create a niche for themselves. A Theatre Arts student can also become a
playwright or screenwriter and even a movie director.
