Advantages

This program is the first academic program in Taiwan that integrates diverse Taiwanese cultures (humanities), craft design (hands-on practices), and integrated marketing skills (industrial marketing) into its training.

The Program is operating under the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and is being jointly supported by the Graduate Institute of Taiwan Studies, the Mass Communication Department, the Department of Computer Aided Design, the Department of Fine Arts, the Department of Calligraphy and Painting, and the Department of Applied Philosophy. Besides instructors from inside the University, the Program also invites such industry experts as Wu Tsung-Hsien, awarded the Classic Craftsmanship of Formosa Taiwan, Ministry of Culture, and Huang Mei-chih, Marketing Director of the Ten Drum Culture Village, to lecture on their respective fields of expertise. In the future, the Program will work with the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute in training and internship projects.

One of this program’s guidelines is learning-by-doing. Hopefully, through a variety of courses that develop their professional skills, combined with the experiences they have in the promoting and organizing of various events or exhibitions, the students will be able to keep up the pace of the industries and embrace various possibilities in the future.
