The FINA Department is where innovation brings about impact. Our students are not simply learning; they are developing ideas to transform lives and shape the future. Each program is designed to embrace real-world challenges, ensuring that our graduates make a meaningful difference.
Imagine developing nutrient-packed recipes that promote health and well-being, or designing stylish, functional clothing for people with disabilities. Imagine designing accessible interior architecture that is aesthetically beautiful while providing full access to wheelchair users, or writing compelling essays that address the pressing issues facing today's families.
At FINA, our students' work is a testament to creativity, diversity, and forward-thinking. Their projects inspire new ways of thinking and build on a solid foundation of knowledge and practice. Please enjoy the gallery and explore how our students are making a positive impact on the world.
