1 July 2022 marks a new chapter of development at Hong Kong Baptist University with the establishment of the School of Creative Arts (SCA). SCA is the academic home of three such well-established units as the Academy of Film, Academy of Music (formerly the Department of Music), and Academy of Visual Arts. These academies are joined by two new transdisciplinary programmes in the areas of Art & Technology, and Global Entertainment Business.  Rooted in liberal arts ethos and transdisciplinary inquiries, the new school leverages the rich genealogy of each discipline to continue to interrogate the infinite acts of human creativity, reassess the roles of arts in our time, and invent new artistic opportunities for the future.
