The Specialization Program of Creative Industry Design
Creative Industry Design
1. Program Focus and Development Direction
Oriented toward the design practices of creative industries, this program establishes a cross-disciplinary learning platform that integrates “aesthetic critique” and “diverse design practices.” The core focus centers on design and exhibition practices related to creative industries, aiming to cultivate creative design talents with an international perspective through systematic technical training and design aesthetics nurturing. In addition to emphasizing the seamless connection between foundational and core competencies, the program is dedicated to exploring emerging trends in creative industry development and design innovation, ensuring students possess strong competitiveness and cross-disciplinary translation skills in the rapidly changing cultural, creative, and visual communication fields.
2. Core Competencies
Students enrolled in this program will develop comprehensive core competencies, ranging from creative thinking to professional design execution. First, students must master the fundamental logic of basic design and design thinking, thereby developing practical skills in print design, packaging design, and exhibition design. Furthermore, the curriculum emphasizes the practical application of graphics, design sketching, and visual communication design, enabling students to flexibly employ design aesthetic theories to solve complex visual communication and spatial exhibition problems. Ultimately, students will possess cross-disciplinary technical integration mindsets, enabling them to fulfill critical design roles within the division of labor across creative industry workflows.
3. Curriculum Overview
The structure of this program features a progressive, hierarchical design, requiring a minimum of 18 total credits for completion. The curriculum is divided into “Foundational Courses” designed to establish basic creative logic, which include two required subjects: Basic Design and Creative Thinking and Design Aesthetics; and “Core Courses” aimed at enhancing technical depth. From eight advanced subjects—Design Aesthetics, Exhibition Design and Curatorial Practice, Expression Technique, Printing Layout & Design, Design Drawing, History Design, Graphic Drawing (I), and Packaging Design, —students must choose four to complete.
