The Department was established in 2006. It is a creative major for learning about art, crafts and design. The Department is subdivided into 5 divisions, including: Woodworking, Art Metal & Jewelry, Ceramics, Textile, and Design. Classes are conducted in the form of workshops, allowing students to acquire solid training through the workshop environment, whereby they could obtain in-depth understanding and strengthen creative potentials involving materials, helping them build up creative energy for the future.

The Department uses materials such as woodworking, art metal & jewelry, ceramics, and textile as basic materials for learning about work creation. Through classes on ascetics, photography, and practical design, students are guided along the way of transforming different materials into works of contemporary arts and craft design.

In addition to possessing an independent building area and fully-equipped workshop, the Department can also provide sufficient and flexible space to students for creating works, as well as accommodating the variety of needs for their diverse creation process.
