Course Overview

Creating the future of media communication design that connects people, sensibility to expression, sensation to space, and virtual to reality.

Media Design Course consists of four areas: Design Science, Design Engineering, Design and Production, and Cultural and Social Design. It ranges from digital communication, data science, and networking through cutting-edge media technology to human visual science, psychology, artistic expression, human social communication, etc. The goal is to explore and practice media design that "connects," "communicates," and "shares" through the harmony of scientific knowledge, thinking ability, aesthetic sensibility, creativity, and expressive power.
We nurture advanced human resources with a multifaceted and international perspective who can create new media technologies and cultural values by cultivating the following four abilities.

  1. Scientific knowledge and thinking ability such as human visual science, psychology, etc.
  2. Cutting-edge digital technologies such as data science and networking
  3. Aesthetic sensibility, expressiveness, and creativity
  4. Knowledge and ability to think about cultural diversity and communication research
