Since its establishment, the School of Art and Design has clearly defined its development philosophy as being characterized by “distinctive features in cultivating application-oriented talents and a strong ability to support local industrial development.” The school actively promotes the development of new liberal arts, fostering interdisciplinary integration between engineering, humanities, and design disciplines. With a focus on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the school aligns with the strategic goals of enhancing Guangdong’s manufacturing strength and promoting Jiangmen as a manufacturing powerhouse. The school is committed to training high-quality application-oriented talents who are not only morally upright and well-grounded in fundamental knowledge, but also possess an international perspective, strong practical skills, and the ability to innovate and engage in entrepreneurship. These talents are prepared to meet the evolving needs of local economic and social development. The school offers five departments: Environmental Design, Visual Communication Design, Industrial Design, Fashion and Apparel Design, and Dance Studies, with a total of six undergraduate programs. Among these, the first-level disciplines in Design include four undergraduate programs: Environmental Design, Fashion and Apparel Design, Product Design, and Visual Communication Design. The first-level discipline in Music and Dance offers one undergraduate program in Dance Studies, while the first-level discipline in Mechanical Engineering offers one undergraduate program in Industrial Design. Of the six programs, five are in the arts category and one in the science and engineering category. The school currently has two undergraduate programs recognized as first-class by Guangdong Province, one provincial characteristic program, and five provincial pilot programs for comprehensive professional reform. The school is equipped with advanced experimental and training bases, including one provincial-level college student practice teaching base, one provincial-level experimental teaching demonstration center, and one provincial-level base for the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture. The “Art and Design Integrated Experimental Center” is a key facility for training modern, technology-driven innovative talents who meet industry demands. It integrates multiple functions, including talent development, scientific research, technological innovation, enterprise services, and student innovation and entrepreneurship, and serves as a demonstration training center for Guangdong Province.
