Since its establishment in 1956, the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University (formerly Central Academy of Arts and Design) has been adhering to the idea of “Art for Life, Design for Life”. The Academy has contributed a lot for China's national image design, aesthetic education of the general public, as well as people's daily lives. As a forefront of China's art and design education, the Academy has cultivated tens of thousands of highly skilled talents in all walks of life.
