A Design School That Produces Award-Winning Students
First to combine design, advertising media & marketing into one programme
Named by Channel NewsAsia as the first to embrace New Education, ahead of schools like NTU-ADM, SUTD, etc., by integrating media, design & advertising into one program, we have been partnering with experienced practitioners from the creative & ad industry to bring our students the best learning experience that allows them to shine the moment they graduate from the program.
Change is constant; to stay ahead of our game, we challenge the norms and existing education boundaries.
We ask WHY NOT as life is too short for complacency.
