Focus on growth with the concept of the department, and inspire broad awareness with overseas teaching mode!
in the light of Training course of art overseas works collection The natural light never only serves as the surface, we pay more attention to the fundamental core. The introduction of overseas teaching mode, combined with the concept of "School/Department" of overseas art colleges, and with the awareness of leading in the industry, proposed "six major departments" to fundamentally guide students' creation and ideological dimension.
6 major systems, respectively: Pure Art Illustration Department, Visual Design Department, Digital Media System, Design Innovation Department, Architectural Design Department, Fashion Design Department . Divide related disciplines into "departments", pinpoint discipline positioning, and comprehensively improve students' ability with global awareness.
