Pursue fresh perspectives for a new world at Asia's leading contemporary arts and design institution

A new window of opportunity opens as a new world order emerges amidst global change.

This requires creative leadership – sustainable, empathetic and connected – as well as digital, social and conceptual skills to inform and lead cultural disciplines and economies.

Through an interdisciplinary approach, the postgraduate programmes at LASALLE are designed to help you acquire new ways of thinking to ultimately develop valuable ideas to lead and shape various sectors of society, especially the cultural and creative industries. Through a deep engagement with global practices, practitioners and thought leaders, you will be able to network and plug yourself into this new world.

As Asia’s leading contemporary arts and design institution, LASALLE is recognised for its critical discourse and leading-edge knowledge production through the arts. Our forward-looking graduates are pioneers who champion the arts across cultures, disciplines and sectors globally.
