The Department of Integrated Design offers a unique curriculum based on the integration of communication design (C), fashion design (F), and product design (P). We also offer modules to help students integrate their design practise through new media and technology, service\/system design, design management, and design innovation, among others.<\/span><\/p>

The curriculum of the Integrated Design programme begins in the first year with an emphasis on comprehending the notion of integrated design, examining the principles of design and media, and nurturing the mental agility and spirit of inquiry that professional designers should possess. In the second year, students study and gain expertise in numerous design domains through exploring integrated theory and design research, and technology, while concentrating on their particular area of expertise within the scope of integrated design. The third year of the curriculum\u00a0consists of courses that deepen students’ knowledge of their chosen specialism while exposing them to integrated design processes and methodologies, allowing them to mature into more integrated professionals. The fourth year of the curriculum is intended to help students develop into integrated design professionals with practical leadership skills by providing project-based teaching contents that incorporates advanced design competencies and integrated design approaches, as well as the practical coursework required for starting a business or entering related industries after graduation.<\/span><\/p>

In addition to providing integrated and interdisciplinary competencies, the Department of Integrated Design offers a tailored curriculum\u00a0that allows students to develop professional expertise in specific domain within communication design, fashion design, product design, and AI-based integrated design.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
