Diploma in Design (R67)

What You Will Learn

Ignite your passion for design and create impactful experiences with Diploma in Design (DiD).

You'll develop expertise in design thinking and industry-standard software before choosing a major in Games and Gamification, User Experience, or Visual Communication. These majors empower DiD students to create user-centric designs across diverse media platforms, preparing you for a thriving career in the design, media, and ICT sectors.

  • Choose to specialise in one of three majors: Games and Gamification, User Experience or Visual Communication
  • Master technical and analytical skills to craft impactful design solutions across various media, and earn professional certifications in software like Adobe Illustrator, Unity, and AutoDesk Fusion 360
  • Gain real-world experience through internships with top industry leaders such as DBS Bank, Electrolux, Mediacorp, Mothership, NCS Pte Ltd, and Ubisoft

This course equipped me with a solid foundation in UX methodologies and a range of skills, boosting my confidence and credibility in tackling complex design challenges. It also helped me secure my first job at an international strategic design consultancy after graduating from RP, allowing me to apply my knowledge in diverse cultural contexts and amplify the voice of users in designing environments and spaces.
