Programme’s Philosophy

The Bachelor of Science Program in Cosmetic Science aims to develop graduates equipped with comprehensive knowledge and versatile skills in cosmetic science. The curriculum integrates fundamental sciences, cosmetic science, digital technology, marketing, regulations, and ethics to effectively respond to the rapid transformations within the cosmetic industry in the digital era and the BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) economy, which emphasizes sustainability and innovation.

The program is anchored in the principles of Cognitive Constructivism and Outcome-Based Education (OBE). It utilizes Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and interdisciplinary integration, engaging students through both role-playing simulations and real-world scenarios. This approach fosters critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and independent inquiry through active collaboration among faculty members, industry experts, and communities.

Ultimately, the program is dedicated to producing graduates who possess well-rounded expertise in cosmetic science, with the ability to design and develop innovative products. They are equipped with systematic skills in research and development, manufacturing, marketing, and quality control, alongside a strong command of relevant digital technologies. Furthermore, graduates are nurtured to be creative, ethical, and morally responsible professionals who prioritize consumer safety and sustainability. They are highly adaptable to a rapidly changing world, ready to operate in multicultural environments, and capable of thriving in both national and international beauty networks.

Programme’s Objectives

1. To produce graduates who possess fundamental knowledge in cosmetic science and related fields, with the ability to effectively apply the knowledge in professional practice.
2. To produce graduates capable of developing cosmetic products through self-learning skills.
3. To produce graduates equipped with academic communication and digital literacy skills to achieve professional responsibilities efficiently.
4. To produce graduates who demonstrate self-discipline and professional ethics in their careers.
5. To produce graduates who exhibit green skills for versatile roles in the cosmetic industry, specifically in selecting natural raw materials, developing natural and organic cosmetic formulations, and establishing manufacturing processes that utilize clean and environmentally friendly technologies.
