Being the first such institution in the region, the School was founded to nurture a new generation of interdisciplinary artists and creative media professionals, and to develop new ideas and technologies for the creative industries in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and abroad. Now over two decades later, it continues to espouse and advance these aims as the clear leader in its field.
Students are trained across a range of practical disciplines spanning digital media art, animation, film, photography, and computer games. The School bridges the boundaries between art, technology, and computer science, and between traditional and new media, as well as seeking to combine creativity both with critical thinking and with an entrepreneurial vision.
Its internationally recruited faculty members are amongst the foremost artists and researchers in the field. They bring a global perspective and have forged many institutional partnerships for the School. Graduates have consistently demonstrated high employability, with over 90% now working as independent artists and professionals in the creative industries, film, television, advertising, publishing, gaming, media production and post-production. Many have won prestigious international and local awards for creative and technical innovation.
