The arts and culture sector and creative industries have seen rapid development in Hong Kong and the Mainland. There is a need for art specialists who can fill the present and future positions and push for the future forms of arts and culture and creative industries.
This transdisciplinary programme will educate students who are well-versed not only in arts and culture but also in technology.
The programme will be open to students from all academic backgrounds. It targets tech-savvy students who wish to pursue a career in applying technologies in the creative industries and arts and culture sector.

The curriculum will be flexible with options for students to suit multiple and evolving career options. The key learning activities, particularly in the last two years, are collaboration on projects from the industries, experiential learning and constant problem- solving.
