Master of Design in Creative Industry by Coursework is a new programme that aims to produce Professional Graduates who will be Creative Thinkers that ensure Professional Practice & Ethics in the field of design are always maintained. We want our graduates to be able to solve problem innovatively using the latest software and technology in the field of design.

The programme considers the changes in the world of education and the development of the creative art industry. We aspire to offer more innovative and up-to-date courses to ensure that our graduates can compete on the world’s platform. We want to produce graduates who are skilled in making critical and pragmatic decisions in the field of design and to meet the needs of the National Creative Industry agenda. The rapid development in the Fourth Industrial Revolution 4.0 makes individual competence in critical and pragmatic decision-making indispensable. These skills are core competencies that enable decisions to be made effectively based on evidence (evidence-based).

The planned curriculum is centered on an outcome oriented educational approach or Outcome Based Education (OBE) and Teacher to Student Centered Learning (SCL). Each learning outcome in each course will be tested throughout and at the end of the semester through audit sessions to ensure that each learning outcome can be achieved. In addition, the curriculum structure also considers the needs in the industrial world by offering relevant courses in the Design Industry. Self-skilled courses are also offered to equip students with the basics of research as well as skills in problem solving, self-confidence, ethics and integrity that will be assessed throughout the course.

This programme is expected to bridge the gap between undergraduate students and working adults who want to pursue a master’s degree. According to a recent survey, the programme is expected to attract many applications from media professionals, particularly in the fields of Graphic Communication, New Media Design & Technology, and Product Design.
