From inception – in 1991 – the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology has been sensitive to market demands because it felt a strong responsibility to produce graduates who are able to make a smooth transition from classroom to workplace. Here is a synopsis of its development and eventual global expansion.
The Limkokwing Institute of Creative Technology was established to play an... active role enabling much needed technology transfer in the area of creative education. The Institute had started to create strategic links with reputable and well-established universities and colleges in UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. At the same time the Institute had forged strong connections with industry to provide guidance and support to enable the right environment of learning to students.
The Institute was the first step forward towards achieving a successful and rewarding career for students. For parents the Institute was an eye-opener as they began to see the wide-ranging possibilities in creative careers. For industry it gave them an opportunity to participate in nurturing much needed creative capability. For government the Institute was a primary resource in developing creative capital.
For the next ten years the Institute set the pace for the education community. The philosophy was simply to empower the individual. And in doing so the Institute grew. It expanded. It upgraded. It reviewed. It revamped.
Industry requirements and global trends were its yardsticks as the Institute introduced new studies that were relevant to the times and also in anticipation to the future needs of the nation. Designing itself was a major expansion – Graphic, Electronic, Product, Industrial, Interior, Multimedia, Information, Communication, and Animation.
Industry collaboration gave wonderful opportunities for students to engage their creative expressions in real work experience. These included work developed for restaurants, hospitals, manufacturers, resorts, publishers, humanitarian foundations, societies and clan associations, councils, public relations companies, municipal councils, government ministries, and non- government organisations. The work has been wide-ranging from the type of creative input needed to the type of organisation that required the input.
Every move made by the Institute has been strategic to match the aspirations of the nation. Being an educator the responsibility adds pressure in that we have to keep several paces ahead to anticipate and provide the kind of environment, training, nurturing and learning that not only the students need but faculty and staff as well.
In addition the Foundation for Creative Excellence creates a special pathway for those with the talent but without the financial support to realise their dreams. The Foundation helps the nation use the talent that may otherwise remain untapped and capable individuals unfulfilled.
This was an era of knowledge. The University College had come into full grasp of its capabilities especially in nurturing creativity. Creativity was at the core of knowledge because data and information needed to be converted into content. It takes creativity to present knowledge in its various forms – books, newspapers, magazines, videos, film, Internet (such as websites pages), multimedia software such as CD-Roms, advertising materials and other communication materials.
The University College had now expanded its role to help industry expedite its entry into the k-era. The setting up of the Malaysia Design Innovation Centre (MDI) provided the resources for industry to explore and experiment new ideas needed to upgrade its positioning in a world market.
The Limkokwing University has no parallel in the manner it has expanded and merged with the countries where it has set up campuses. The University matches its programmes with the countries" national development plans to build the kind of manpower they need to build their economies.
We are able to do this because of our own development and contribution to nation building in Malaysia that doing so overseas comes naturally.
Our success can best be measured by invitations from UNESCO and the World Bank to present our methodology in reinventing education.
