Taught Postgraduate Study Tour to Taipei 2026

Our taught postgraduate students completed an inspiring 5-day study tour earlier in Taipei under the theme “From Heritage to Innovation: Sustainability × Creativity in Action” led by Prof. Chia Wu and Ms. Joni Ngai.

Students immersed themselves in Taipei’s rich heritage and local food culture at Ningxia Night Market, explored media innovation at BNext Media and Condé Nast Taiwan, discovered circular fashion and social impact at House of Story Wear, engaged with design policy at the Taiwan Design Research Institute, and gained insights into AI with AI Fund and 17Life.

Inspirational talks by industry leaders sparked students’ thinking about future career opportunities, the evolving role of humans in the age of AI, and how creativity and design thinking can create meaningful social and business impact.

Along the way, students took part in workshops, explored the city, and worked closely in teams. They wrapped up the tour by presenting capstone projects in which each group explored Taipei through a chosen lens, transforming their real-world experiences into meaningful insights.
