歷史淵源

國立臺灣藝術大學視覺傳達設計學系成立於2000年，其淵源可追溯至1957年國立藝專時期的美工科設計組，及1994年學院時期的「工藝學系」設計組。本系是國內最早設立的大專院校專業設計系所，多年來培育無數優秀設計人才，成為國內視覺設計教育的重要基地。

2005年，本系成立碩士班（含在職碩士專班），將基礎設計與進階研究統整，建立起完整而健全的設計教學系統。目前系上擁有9名專任教師，包括4名教授、2名副教授、1名專技助理教授及2名助理教授，並聘請三十餘名兼任與專業教師，組成堅強的師資陣容。完善的空間規劃及教學設施，搭配多元而豐富的課程，為學生提供最理想的學習環境。

本系以整合視覺、設計與科技為核心，緊扣新時代趨勢，致力於突破傳統視覺傳達設計的框架，著重數位化、互動性應用及UI/UX體驗整合，培養學生的跨領域整合能力。課程涵蓋多元設計領域，並積極邀請業界專才及國際師資參與教學，讓學生不僅能夠掌握產業實務經驗，更能拓展全球視野。

視覺傳達設計學系致力於培養具創新思維與國際競爭力的專業設計人才，幫助學生應對快速變遷的未來挑戰，為臺灣及國際設計界注入嶄新的力量。

Brief introduction

1.To meet with the needs of economic development, and of national cultural policies, we aim to cultivate professional designers with outstanding skills as our goal.

2.Through the training programs, students will be equipped with professional skills as to understand the market trend, new technology, design aesthetic, academic research, creative thinking and capability, etc.

3.We offer interdisciplinary programs by using art and design resources to develop cultural creative designs, to enhance features of Taiwan, and to promote the quality of designs, etc.

4.We try our effort to promote international design culture exchange as well as international competitiveness.
