東方美學教育在一般人心中就像工廠裡量產的複製娃娃,只能遵守SOP、讓每個人都變得一模一樣?透過台灣美學教育者開放的思想、提供多元的學習環境,每個人都有創造不同火花的可能。著重美學技藝的提升,同時也強調個人獨立的思考,台灣的美學教育已經讓每個人的生活開始變得更加美好。

Taiwan aesthetic educators are calling for open education, providing diverse learning environments and inspiring student to create unlimited possibilities. They emphasize the improvement of aesthetic art and crafts, and also highlight the importance of individual thinking. Via Taiwan aesthetic education, these educators enrich people's spiritual life, enhance the society's cultural tastes, and extend it into everyone's everyday life.

實踐大學設計學院於2007年首度獲美國商業週刊BusinessWeek評選為全球前60所最佳設計學院,並於200910月再度由工業產品設計研究所榮獲美國商業週刊BusinessWeek評選為「全世界前30所最佳創新整合設計與商業思維研究所」(The World's Best Design Thinking Programs)

實踐大學設計學院時尚與媒體設計研究所是全國唯一以「時尚服裝設計」與「數位媒體設計」兩項並行為主軸發展方向的研究所,打破文、理、工學門類別的界限,並突破設計創作形式的藩籬,展現以平面視覺、社會心理、產品行銷、科技、人文等跨領域知識整合所迸發的力量。
有鑒於國際間近年來設計教育界重視跨領域教學及跨媒材創作之發展共通趨勢,本所積極整合人文思維與設計創作之時尚與媒體領域專題課程,並延聘學、業界專業師資任教,期使本所學生更具世界觀、國際觀,同時拓展設計視野,培養設計人的終極包容與關懷,與對地球一切生命體更友善的設計思維。

Shih Chien University’s Design College was one of the first design colleges in Taiwan to establish a postgraduate institute dedicated to fashion and communications design.

Against the backdrop of a national expansion in cultural and creative industries, Shih Chien University’s Design College hopes to provide a multi-disciplinary learning environment.

Through theoretical and empirical training, as well as creative and experimental practices, Design College aims to widen the students’ horizons and advance their personal development in the true understanding of culture and humanitarianism.

Students are encouraged to push the boundaries of design by experimenting and integrating skills and principles from all aspects of design.
