Your journey in art starts here. Sunway’s Department of Art & Design is the
matchmaker between techniques and your talent. Our programmes bring you
beyond discrete boundaries, drawing lines to connect and create infinite
possibilities.

We provide a nurturing, supportive and passionate atmosphere for creating

art beyond the constraints of a specific programme. More than paint brushes,
our fine art students are taught computer skills relevant in the design industry.
Beyond architectural graphics, students of interior design learn ceramics to
have a better understanding of forms in a space. Graphic and multimedia
design students not only learn digital techniques but get hands-on experience
in printmaking to appreciate the physical approaches in image-making.

Our programmes combine the creative focus of an art and design school with
the resources of a full-fledged university campus. The faculty at the Department
of Art & Design maintains the highest academic and artistic standards and is
made up of practising artists and designers.

great on-campus place to hang out which includes a canteen and more than 10 different stalls that
serve full meals or snacks at reasonable prices. Beyond the campus compound, students are spoilt for
choice by the many restaurants and an immensely popular food centre, all offering an endless variety
of delicious food with something for everyone at a student-friendly budget.

On-campus accommodation
On-campus living makes it easy to get up and about to and from classes every day. It is a home
away from home where students get to meet new friends, learn new cultures and experience living
independently. Everything is within walking distance from our campus - hospital, shopping mall, theme
park, restaurants and banks. Choose between the communal living of the Sun-U Apartment or the
condominium lifestyle of Sun-U Residence. A caring hostel master is on hand to oversee the welfare
of every occupant.

Safety & security

Here, the committed security team is made up of Auxiliary Police and trained professionals who work
around the clock to ensure that every day is a smooth and peaceful one.
Whenever a student feels under the weather, they can make their way to the sick bay. Endearingly
known as Nightingale Bay, it is situated near the cafeteria where a matronly Registered Nurse is on
duty and well-equipped to handle minor ailments.
