In an education-oriented industrialized society the formative
art activities strive for the practical union of art and technology.
As the industry becomes advanced and professionalized the
societal criteria demands technology befitting the society
along with a new formative system. With this point in mind,
the Graduate School of Industrial Design aims to equip students
of talent by employing the concept of Total design and Fusion
as their teaching objective so that through a professional
yet flexible curriculum and education philosophy, students
may acquire a cosmopolitan outlook and develop the skills
to become good designers.
The Graduate School of Industrial Design began receiving applications
for admission in late 1998. By continuously researching new
education systems and methods we try to foster our students
with the effective design sense and ability to cope with the
modern age. Our Department is equipped with professional design
fields such as Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Illustration,
Environmental Design, Computer Graphics, etc. And as interchange
among the fields are being engaged in smooth and harmonious
manner, students are placed in favorable environments to equip
themselves with diverse professional knowledge in accordance
with the field of their interest. In addition, by newly establishing
the Doctorate Degree Program starting from school year 2001
our Department seeks to actively correspond to the modern
information-oriented era. Also by studying the designs and
formative environments anticipated from the future industry,
we researched and developed the education program accordingly.
Our focus is on cultivating professionals equipped with creativity
the society demands.
