BA (Hons) in Advertising Design/ Communication Design/ Environment and Interior Design/ Product Design/ Social Design Senior Year curriculum is available in our Bachelor's degree programmes on Advertising Design, Communication Design, Environment and Interior Design, Product Design and Social Design. It offers students a design education that is attuned to social trends and is sensitive to change. The School encourages its students to think critically, learn independently and in teams, experiment with dynamic, multi-layered design processes so as to weave culture and industry strands into appropriate social narratives. Core subjects of the issue-based design studio address contemporary aspects of human existence and the ambition to project desirable futures. Mindful of the cultural implications of technology, projects are developed with the user at its centre, and a critical appreciation of social trends, reflecting a humanistic teaching and learning mode running across the scheme’s design disciplines.

BA (Hons) in Digital Media The BA (Hons) in Digital Media programme adopts the motto of ‘content is king’ wherein ‘idea will always lead execution’. It trains content designers by giving them the necessary tools to compete in the world of digital media and digital entertainment. Given intellectual property as a significant source for economic growth, having that winning idea means a chance of being placed in a commanding position. The programme aims to produce idea driven content designers regardless of their disciplines. It rights the paradigm of confusing creativity based on ideas with fabrication based on technical know-how. With this in mind, students are also taught the necessary technical, entrepreneurial and analytical skills in order to become self-learning and self-enabling for the successful execution of a given creative idea.
Senior Year Programmes
BA (Hons) in Interactive Media The BA (Hons) in Interactive Media programme aims to nurture designers with a strong humanistic mindset, as well as technological knowledge, to actualise ideas as design artefacts that will enable people to make meaning out of interactive dynamic experiences. Graduates can join a wide array of creative businesses, such as new media, digital entertainment, information and communications, digital marketing, interactive advertising, HCI, augmented reality, and electronic commerce. Some may continue their studies in interaction design, multimedia entertainment, and the like at the postgraduate level. Students will study discipline-specific compulsories to enhance their design knowledge and analytical capability and practise design projects in real case scenarios.

ISOASIS is an integrated project that aims to create a sustainable, holistic and user-centred quarantine experience through interior, product and communication design systems.
To raise awareness of the benefits of ‘ugly food,’ the team created an integrated campaign to raise the audience's awareness of the issue and change their consumption behaviour.
The project envisions a quarantine system based beyond the physical needs of the users, transforming quarantine into a mentally rewarding experience. Specifically, it explores chromotherapy as a method of improving the wellbeing of the users. It reconnects humans and nature by reimagining the colours of the changing skies and natural landscapes as interior lighting and furniture designs. Tutors: Scott Chin, Horace Pan, Dr Shih Yi Teng and Roberto Vilchis
By naming the campaign ‘Never Be A Regular’, the team highlights the message towards the audience to embrace themselves with diverse food. A speculative client, the city’super supermarket, is introduced to bring the issue to consumer attention.

Masculinity Uncensored
A Concrete Companion
by Lau Cheuk Yan
by Chan Lok Wai Novan
BA (Hons) in Advertising Design
BA (Hons) in Advertising Design
There are a lot of boundaries in our society regarding what a ‘manly man’ should be. Hong Kong is still conventional in terms of gender identities. A local genderless fashion brand called ‘Ponder.er’ which explores the possibilities of modern masculinity is chosen to be served as client for this advertising campaign.
Freeze Lifestyle is a brand specialising in concrete handicrafts. This campaign aims to connect human stories with the positive attributes of concrete. Here, audiences can discover the value of concrete. This new perception aims to give a deeper understanding of the material.
This campaign is designed to use the images of various animals as visual metaphors to demonstrate masculinity in different forms.

Data Sense: Tracing COVID-19 by infographics and data visualisation by Cheung Lok Yi Louie BA (Hons) in Communication Design
Sea You Again is a travel kit that provides a full range of items to enable consumers to take boat trips in Hong Kong. Customers at all levels benefit from cross platform design, with relevant items available both online and offline. Seven islands routes were chosen because their durations are long enough to allow passengers to enjoy the ferry, the water, and the wind, as well as the scenery shifts from cityscape to island landscape. The younger generation gains from Sea You Again. They were told to lay down their phones and relax in the middle of nowhere. To travel on this mode of transportation because we only have a small amount of time and opportunities to do so.
People in Hong Kong have been receiving large amounts of information and data about the pandemic. They seem to have become numb to numbers and data, such as confirmed cases or even death cases. To avoid this situation, information design is one of the most effective ways of representing data. Through visualising data, readers can easily understand the real meaning behind it.

Moderno Asclepeion
The Island of Grief
by Wong Tsz Shun Jessie
by Lai Yu Nga Katie
BA (Hons) in Environment and Interior Design
BA (Hons) in Environment and Interior Design
Today, our fascination with technology, media, beauty, material goods and work has reached an obsessive level. We dedicate time and attention towards them to the degree that is similar to worshipping, making these ideologies our newfound religion.
The Island of Grief is a story about a girl who is in mourning and escapes to an imaginary space in her dreams. Rooms are designed based on different stages of grief including denial, anger, depression and acceptance.
Asclepions were Ancient Greek establishments where believers seek spiritual and physical healing from Gods in their sleep. Borrowing this concept, this project explores the possibility where a hotel becomes a worshipping space for our new religions to portrait modern values.
Spaces emphasise the characteristics of each grief stage by manipulating and controlling light and shade. The design was defined through the analysis, exploration and consideration of how light passes through and illuminates spaces at a particular time of the day.
The project is inspired by Piranesi's imaginary prisons. His drawing methodologies are extracted and used to reinterpret religious architecture interiors with hospitality programmes.
