The Introduction of Department of Culture and Creative Industries

Our department called “Department of Culture Business Development” originally and has been renamed as Department of Culture and Creative Industries from August 1st in 2013. People can exactly know what we do according to the new name of our department. Taiwan has been highly promoting the field of cultural and creative industries nowadays. Besides, more and more similar departments are founded by a number of schools. Fortunately, you have the opportunity to join the trend. However, to stand out from those who are talented, you have to be able to conduct interdisciplinary tasks with excellent abilities. What we concern most is how to help our students get ideal jobs because there are tens of thousands of graduates from the same department competing every year. You can compare the differences between our department in nkust and other schools by the figure below.

 

There are many aspects for you to develop in our department, such as marketing strategies and public relations, graphic design, advertising and package design.

That is to say, we will help you get an ideal job as soon as you graduate. Though the process is tough, you will benefit from it a lot. Furthermore, the more diversified the environment is, the more knowledge and skills you need to equip. In order not to be marginalized by the society, you have to learn as much as possible.

Challenges and Missions

1、Cultural Passing-down

The origin of our department was the Mandarin Department which acted as passing down the culture. However, with the rapid changes of social modernization, the advance of technology and the aggravating pressure of competition in workplace, Mandarin has become the courses for making up credits. Comparing with the environment led by technology mainly, cultural cultivation seems impractical. Moreover, it will be a fruitless approach to pass down the culture if those cultural workers lack the awareness of hardships and still stick to traditional teaching concept. Hence, how to interpret the culture within the trend of such powerful technology? How to market or communicate culture and innovate afterwards? It is a solemn and meaningful age issue as well as the challenges and missions of the cultural workers in modern ages. Under such condition, our school has decided to found the department of cultural business. In order to fit the requests of modern society, we formally modified as department of culture and creative industries on August 1st in 2013.

2、Running

Culture is a mode living by population which has the accumulative wisdom of history as well as responses to the creativity of the new age. These ideas can be showed in literature, art, folk habits, regulations and the invention of technology. It can be entered in any entrances and can all lead to cultural garden. As to the exploring way, literature is the main part, but sometimes is art or folk habits. Students can explore widely and limit to acquire properly. We can learn the wisdom of historical culture and see the distinguished demeanors in different western culture. Besides, we can learn the delicate culture of intellectual aristocrats as well as appreciate the popular culture of the public. What we need to cultivate are global citizens who have the principal thought of Taiwanese culture with passion, dignity and tolerance.


3、Go into the Culture of Life Communication

The mission of passing down the culture has been the heavy burden for the people working in cultural creative industry. Our department cultivates students to take action actively, take cultural connotation as vitality to go into the culture of life communication and combine with the techniques of digital design, mass communication or marketing planning. Furthermore, develop creative packages and enhance the agreeableness and lifelikeness of culture so as to create the demands of cultural consumption and spread the culture around our lives.

 

4、Alliance with Industries

Creating the demands of cultural consumption is particularly about the industrialization of culture and turns the culture into merchandise. The cultivation of industries is as if the products can be blended into their value and be developed their additional value. This is the administrative emphasis and the new currency of global economic development. Regardless of cultural industrialization or industrial cultivation, culture is the fountain head and it is the educational objective of our department. Nevertheless, we place more importance on the efficiency of cultural communication. Expecting that students enable to step on the land they grew up, blend into the social dynamic, communicate with technology, intercommunicate with the public, form an alliance with industries and create win-win situation.


 5Challenges as well as Missions

  Establishing the culture and creative department is a whole new thought in the environment led by technology and the concept of passing down the culture after all. It makes us firmly believe that communicating culture and cultivating the personnel of the cultural communication are the correct direction. Though pioneers are sometimes alone and burdensome, passing down the culture is the mission of the workers with creative ideas forever. We are willing to accept the challenges of the age, erect the historical patterns and instruct the up-and-coming youngsters who take cultural inheritance as their careers in generation.
