Programme Enquiry: WhatsApp 2026 Graduation Show: D.Store D.Store is a concept store about exploration and choice. Faced with countless ideas and possibilities, our time and resources become like a limited shopping basket, pushing us to filter, compare, and make decisions. Limits aren't boundaries; they are opportunities that shape how ideas grow. When choices become more focused, creativity expands in new directions. We turn the design process into a playful store experience where experimenting, mixing, and making choices are part of the journey. Somewhere between trying and letting go, creativity begins to take form. Stay Connected with Us! Want to know more about our activities and events? Follow us on Instagram [ hkct.design ]!

Through assignments and targeted training, they have helped me immensely.' Huang Yinan 'One of my most memorable experiences was when I asked a teacher a question in the early hours of the morning.

Designers possessing strong typographic skills and a dynamic visual mindset are highly competitive.

Learn more about career development for designers Can I apply for this Higher Diploma in Creative Design and Media (Visual Communication) if I did not study Visual Arts (VA) in secondary school? Absolutely! Many of our past students had never studied VA before enrolling. We welcome students from Arts, Science, and Commerce streams. HKCT's design curriculum is specifically tailored for students from diverse backgrounds, so you can study with us even without prior design experience. Start from scratch: Regardless of whether you have learnt to draw, we start teaching from the very foundations of colour theory, typography, and layout principles. Comprehensive skillset: You will master industry-standard design software and cover various areas including graphic design, brand identity, advertising design, video production, filming techniques, and motion graphics. This ensures you graduate with multimedia creative capabilities to meet the current market demand for all-round designers. Do I need to prepare a personal portfolio when applying? A portfolio is not required when applying for this design programme. Whilst not mandatory, we recommend that if you have any drawings, photography, or design-related work from your daily life, you organise them into a portfolio to present and display during the interview. This allows tutors to see your creative potential and passion, increasing your chances of admission. The interview focuses primarily on understanding your interest in the design industry and your attitude towards learning. Is there still a chance to enrol if my HKDSE results do not meet 'Level 2 in five subjects' or if I do not meet the academic requirements? Yes. If your HKDSE results do not meet the minimum entrance requirements (Level 2 in five subjects, including Chinese and English Language) or if your academic qualifications do not meet the minimum standards, you can first enrol in HKCT's one-year ' Diploma in Creative Design '. Upon successful completion, you can articulate directly into this Higher Diploma programme.

Compared to similar SSSDP Higher Diploma design programmes at other institutions, our tuition fee is the lowest in Hong Kong, significantly reducing the financial burden on students. I am very afraid of exams; does this design programme require written examinations? No, this is a key feature of our design programme: there are no traditional examinations. We utilise 'Project Assignments' and 'Professional Studies' as our assessment criteria. You will demonstrate your learning outcomes by completing various design projects, such as brand design, packaging, advertising, and interactive media design. This approach aligns more closely with the actual working models of the design industry. Will the school provide professional design software? The school understands the needs of design students and has established multiple creative studios, such as the Professional Design Lab and the Visual Imaging Studio. These are equipped with iMacs and industry-standard software (such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, 3D Studio Max, etc.). We also provide 3D printers and large-scale printing machines, so students do not need to worry about equipment issues.
