Lasalle has partnered Goldsmiths University in London to validate its degrees since 2012, and Nafa started similar arrangements with Britain's Royal College of Music in 2011 and the University of the Arts London in January last year. There will not be a new campus, said MOE, as UAS will operate out of the National Design Centre in Middle Road.

She added that UAS will help be a platform to plug Nafa and Lasalle into the industry, to be a national focal point for the arts and to bring more opportunities for students and faculty. Prof Kwok, who is also professor of sociology, will be succeeded at NTU by Associate Professor Vivien Huan, NTU said in a separate statement.
