The Department of Cultural Creative Management nurtures students so that they are able to acquire knowledge in media culture, urban/international culture, art management, and other fields while making use of professional skills in areas such as media, cultural institutions, cultural industries, international organizations, PR activities, planning, and marketing in companies.
