Since last May, when the Advertising programme students began preparing their final-year projects✨, both the supervisory team and the students have demonstrated sustained commitment, creativity, and meaningful collaboration with a diverse range of industry partners 👏🏻. This integration of academic training with real-world engagement continues to define the distinctive strength of the programme’s capstone experience.

Under the theme “Co.Lab”, six categories of work were showcased at the main building of Xiamen University Malaysia on 26 March 2026. The exhibition reflects not only the students’ strategic and creative capabilities, but also their ability to respond to practical briefs through collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches🫶🏻.
