Empowering creative learning hubs
IN the ever-evolving landscape of creative industries, innovation often hinges on the environment in which artists and designers are nurtured.

Recognising this fundamental truth, the University of Cyberjaya (UoC) has embarked on an ambitious endeavour to revolutionise the educational experience for aspiring creatives.

At the heart of this transformation lies the newly minted Faculty of Creative Arts and Design (FCAD), a visionary initiative aimed at empowering students with the tools, resources, and inspiration to thrive in the dynamic world of art and design.

Facilities play a pivotal role in shaping the learning journey of students pursuing creative disciplines.

Understanding this, UoC has made a significant investment in the creation of a dedicated floor exclusively catering to the FCAD programmes.

In the fast-paced realm of creative arts and design, access to state-of-the-art equipment and software is paramount.

At UoC, students have unparalleled access to modern labs, studios, and collaborative spaces with industry-standard tools and software.

These facilities mirror professional creative environments, offering students a real-world experience right on campus. From precision drawing tools like Wacom Intuos and HUION Kamvas Pro to high-end computers running the latest graphics processors, the varsity provides students with the resources they need to excel in their craft.

Central to the university’s ethos is the belief in the power of collaboration.

The newly unveiled state-of-the-art facilities are designed to inspire and empower students to unleash their creativity.

The newly established facilities boast vibrant communal areas where students can connect with like-minded peers, exchange ideas, and embark on collaborative ventures.

These spaces serve as incubators for innovation, where creativity flourishes in an atmosphere of collective inspiration.

Clean lines, neutral tones, and uncluttered surroundings create an atmosphere of focus and clarity, allowing ideas to flow freely.

Every element is meticulously curated to enhance the creative process, from modular furniture that adapts to various configurations to ample natural light that illuminates the space.

UoC has also established strong ties with the creative industries, offering students valuable internships, networking opportunities, and exposure to real-world projects. These connections enhance students’ employability upon graduation and provide first-hand insights into the creative industry.

Moreover, the faculty embraces an innovative interdisciplinary approach, collaborating with other faculties to expand the realm of possibilities for students.

Through collaborative efforts with faculties such as Health and Safety as well as Business and Technology, the Creative Arts and Design team of staff empowers students to harness design principles in various fields, from medical visualisation to business analytics.

The faculty’s deputy dean Mohd Faiz Alias says, “Our unique approach to education sets FCAD apart from other institutions. By seamlessly integrating industry-relevant skills and cutting-edge technologies into our curriculum, we ensure that our graduates are not just prepared for the future – they are ahead of it.”

From precision drawing tools like Wacom Intuos and HUION Kamvas Pro to high-end computers running the latest graphics processors, UoC’s Faculty of Creative Arts and Design provides students with the resources they need to excel in their craft.
