Equator welcomed next-generation creators at SMK Berapit! We conducted an immersive, interactive workshop designed to introduce students to the diverse and dynamic world of the creative arts. The session allowed participants to experiment with contemporary design concepts and discover how their imagination can be transformed into rewarding, industry-ready career paths.

As part of their Furniture Design I subject, our Interior Design students stepped out of the lecture halls and onto the active production floor of ECL for a factory tour. The experiential trip gave our young designers a first-hand look at mass-production machinery, raw material selection, and heavy-duty assembly methods, helping them bridge their conceptual sketches with real-world structural engineering.

Equator welcomed structural creativity at our SMJK Heng Ee architectural workshop! Led by our lecturer Mr. Teh, the session taught students the fundamentals of layout design, blending practical building rules with Feng Shui principles. The hands-on briefing gave everyone an open platform to pitch their own design ideas and explore the world of architecture.

Students visited the “Museum Fantasy Exhibition” by Winson Ma in Kuala Lumpur, experiencing imaginative artworks that combined fantasy and storytelling. The visit provided creative inspiration and exposure to international contemporary art.

Students from our Diploma in Fashion Design Technology program recently gathered for an exclusive Fashion Department Movie Night to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 at TGV Cinemas, 1st Avenue Mall. Beyond the entertainment value, the screening served as an engaging learning experience, offering students critical insights into fashion branding, editorial culture, and career development within the global fashion industry. The event also provided a wonderful opportunity for students and lecturers to connect outside the classroom, strengthening the community spirit within the department. We extend our gratitude to Ms. Joo Lee, Dean of Studies, for organizing this enriching extracurricular activity.

The May Intake Orientation Program introduced new students to campus life and academic information. The sessions helped them settle in, connect with peers, and begin their studies confidently.

Equator College was honoured to host delegates from the China University of Technology (CUTe), Taiwan, for the Opening Ceremony and Exhibition Showcase of the University Social Responsibility (USR) Programme.

Through creative displays and cultural exchange, this initiative opens exciting global learning opportunities for our young creatives.

A meaningful step toward global academic synergy!
