About Us

The School of Arts was formed on the 13th of April 1999. Its main objective is to produce arts specialists and artists who understand the science, technology and industry related to the field of arts. It is part of the school's vision to grow along with our progressive nation and create inventors who are capable of envisioning and absorbing simultaneously the knowledge of arts and humanities. The human factor, the society, the environment and the most advance technological knowledge that influences the expansion of the arts field are among the factors that contributed to the formation of the courses in each of the programs offered by this school.

The School of Arts also take into consideration the factors that contribute to the creation of a graduate who is not only skilled in a single field of the arts but also possesses the intellectual acumen to fit into the corporate world as well as the world of entertainment. This is inline with the needs  of a developing country whose vision is to improve the skills of its citizens by applying their knowledge to achieve their goals in a new era.

This school is dedicated to providing visual arts studies, creative writing studies and performing arts studies through its three programs. They are the Creative Arts Program, the Music Program, the Visual Arts Program. The courses are conducted in classes, labs, performance theaters as well as individual industries specified for training by talented, well-trained and experienced teaching staff. It is the aim of this school to be an excellent centre for arts education for both undergraduate and post-graduate studies. The school hopes to encourage the undergraduates and graduates to take advantage of Borneo's multiethnics society that comprises more than 30 different groups which provide vast opportunities for research in various disciplines of the arts and culture.
