focus on two very important areas of marketing and industry linkage. The Commissioner Hyderabad
said that in the modern world, creativity needs visibility and students must understand the
importance of promoting their work through effective marketing, whether it’s branding, digital
media, or understanding consumer needs. Good marketing ensures that their ideas reach the right
audience and gain recognition at national and international levels, he stated.

collaborate with textile firms, advertising agencies, construction companies, art galleries and other
creative and commercial sectors, students receive real-world exposure, internships, and employment
opportunities.

intellectual strength of our 120 graduating students from Fine Art, Textile Design, Communication

of our students but also the continuous growth and achievements of SABS University. Over the past
few years, we have expanded our research output, strengthened our faculty, upgraded our studios and
computer laboratories, and introduced new academic initiatives to match global standards in art and
design education. Our students have won national awards, participated in international exhibitions,
and contributed meaningfully to the cultural and creative sectors of Pakistan, she stated.
Dr. Bhutto said that we are placing a strong emphasis on marketing and entrepreneurship and want
our students not only to be talented artists and designers but also confident professionals who
understand how to position their work in the market. Whether it is digital branding, portfolio
development, trend forecasting, or engaging with clients, these skills are essential for building a
sustainable career in the creative industries.
The Vice-Chancellor added that entrepreneurship is becoming a crucial part of art and design
education and many of our graduates are already running their own studios, fashion labels, design
consultancies, and architectural practices.
Dr. Arabella Bhutto said that the Degree Show is a key platform where students directly interact with
industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and the public. It helps them understand market expectations
and prepares them to confidently step into professional life.

of life. The exhibition will remain open to visitors until 7 th December 2025, offering the public an
