Producing internationally-minded creatives and researchers

This course emphasizes the promotion of internationally-minded creatives and researchers that can play leading roles not only domestically but globally in fields of modern-day media technology and creative arts. With the aim for cultivating students’ theoretical and creative abilities for art and culture, the course focuses on three educational targets: (1) Rich knowledge on art, culture, and their history with a skill to apply these to modern society (2) Comprehension and practice of systematic theories of art, science, and engineering (3) Creativity for manufacturing and digital contents development.
Graduates in this course are expected to have successful careers as expert designers and researchers in various fields. Some examples of potential fields are: digital contents design (e.g. video, music, games, and graphics), industrial design (e.g. information device, automotive, and mechanics), and information design (e.g. web engineering and programming).
