Introduction
The School of Creative Media (SCM), the region's first such institution, was founded to nurture a new generation of interdisciplinary artists and creative media professionals, and to develop new ideas and technologies for the creative industries in Hong Kong, Asia, and across the world. We value applied creativity, cultural awareness, and critical thinking as much as business sense and entrepreneurial success.
This is a track to enhance solid media skills and academic knowledge before you commit to any major studies. You will be trained across disciplines spanning media arts, computer science, visual design, creative writing, cultural studies, and digital technology. Our programmes bridge the boundaries between art and science and integrate traditional and new media. You will have a free choice of majors (BA Creative Media, BSc Creative Media, and BAS New Media) at the end of the first year of study.
Our internationally recruited faculty members are among the foremost artists and researchers in the field. The School brings a global perspective to students by forging many international exchange and study trip opportunities with high-caliber overseas institutional partnerships. Our graduates consistently demonstrate high employability, with the majority now working as independent artists and professionals in the creative industries such as film, television, digital entertainment, advertising, media production, and information technology. Many have won prestigious international and local awards for creative and technical innovations.
With strengths arising from a unique mix of East and West, Hong Kong has seen a major expansion in its creative economy and has emerged as a thriving hub of new media culture in Asia and the world. The CityUHK School of Creative Media has played an instrumental role in this development as the leading force in creative media education and research in Hong Kong.
