The Undergraduate Program in Craft focuses on integrating culture, innovation, and material exploration in a contemporary context. This program instills cultural values while simultaneously encouraging the pursuit of solutions and creative innovations that are relevant to global developments.
Through mastery of manual skills, creative and critical thinking, medium empowerment, and expertise in material processing using multidisciplinary and contextual approaches, Undergraduate Program in Craft positions craft as a dynamic and progressive field of knowledge in addressing the challenges of the future creative industry.
