to learning;
- To offer a unique inter-disciplinary curriculum that responds to the shifting of paradigms in a knowledge economy, facilitates students' mindset change as well as skills competency, and focuses the learning process in the following four broad areas:
- personal discovery through creative and expressive tasks,
- cultural literacy and vision
- competency in communicative skills (languages, IT, media and creative skills), and
- creative thinking
- To prepare students with
the mindset, knowledge and skills required for further tertiary
studies in arts, media and design and for successful careers
in the new economic infrastructure.
