On 12 September, LASALLE unveiled five new degree programmes in conjunction with the opening of the University of the Arts Singapore for its first intake in August 2024.

• BA (Hons) Art Histories and Curatorial Practices: Asia and the World
• BA (Hons) Design for Social Futures
• BA (Hons) International Contemporary Dance Practices, jointly delivered by LASALLE and the London Contemporary Dance School
• MA Arts and Ecology
• MA Music Therapy

These pioneering new programmes will prepare students to excel in the highly digitised, globalised, and eco-conscious creative industries. Launch events were organised for new programmes, including the BA (Hons) Art Histories and Curatorial Practices: Asia and the World launch symposium, as well as the Music Therapy Symposium 2024 graced by Nominated Member of Parliament Usha Chandradas and Vivian Chan, President, World Federation of Music Therapy.

"The five new programmes from LASALLE signify a bold step forward for arts education. This is to situate arts higher education within the context of wider global, digital and social issues and respond to demographically different learners. Against this complex but exciting backdrop, there has never been a better time to pursue an arts education in Singapore as we seek to respond, expand and redefine the creative sector."
