On 20 April 2026, the PolyU School of Design was pleased to welcome a delegation of senior representatives from the University of the Arts London (UAL) for a university visit aimed at fostering dialogue and strengthening institutional connections.
The visit provided a valuable platform for open exchange on shared perspectives, institutional priorities, and potential avenues for collaboration. The UAL delegation also took part in a guided tour of the School, including a visit to the solo exhibition by Mr Raman Hui, an internationally acclaimed animation master and PolyU distinguished alumnus, while gaining insights into PolyU Design’s learning environment, teaching spaces and facilities, and the alumnus’s creative practice and artistic vision.
