Programme Overview and Aims

 

This is the first undergraduate programme in Hong Kong to offer arts management and cultural studies components to complement discipline-based training in the creative arts. It aims to develop community-based artists, who are able to work across a range of established art forms and contribute to the promotion and development of the arts and arts education in the local, regional, and international cultural and creative industries. Students will focus on one core arts discipline of either Music or Visual Arts.

 

  • Understand and interpret the arts and cultures from diverse theoretical and practical perspectives;
  • Express and create through musical, visual arts and interdisciplinary arts practices;
  • Make connections across the arts, related academic disciplines and cultural contexts in Hong Kong, Mainland China and other parts of the world;
  • Reflect on and make reasoned analysis critically of the needs and issues relevant to the cultural and creative industries; and
  • Work ethically and professionally in supporting arts education and arts administration by upholding moral values and integrity.

Career Prospects

 

Due to the rapid growth of the cultural and creative industries in Asia and increased regional competition, there is great demand for cultural expertise who are creative, multi-skilled, flexible, resourceful, ethical and competent to work in fields requiring multi-tasking beyond their major area of studies. Thus, qualified graduates with interdisciplinary training, knowledge in cross-arts issues and management as well as cultural literacy are in high demand. Graduates will be prepared for a range of possible employment in the cultural and creative industries, the commercial and education sector, the government and non-governmental organisations. Graduates may also choose to pursue a teaching career by completing an additional year of professional teacher training or to undertake further studies locally or overseas. The recent graduates have been working at various private and public organisations, such as 100 Most, Baron School of Music, Chung Ying Theatre Company, Design Trust, Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Hong Kong Ballet, Hong Kong Museum of Art, K11 Art Foundation, Lumenvisum, MTR Corporation Limited, Ming Pao Daily News, Moon Gallery, Microsoft, No Limits, The Pottery Workshop at Jingdezhen, Theatre Ronin, The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, Theatre Space, Tai Kwun, Yat Po Singers Limited, etc.

  • Students admitted into this programme are required to visit the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and/or other parts of Mainland China. The programme may also require students to participate in other non-local learning experience for completion of the programme.
