What You Will Learn

Providing you with the knowledge and skills to produce outstanding transmedia content, the Diploma in Media Production & Design (DMPD) enables you to stand out from the crowd in the ever-evolving media landscape.

Using both conventional and digital media formats, you will learn to produce a range of content to enlighten and enliven your audiences. Our comprehensive hands-on training will help you to master key techniques in media production, resulting in a portfolio of dynamic visual works across multiple media channels.

Our industry attachments at production companies, advertising and design agencies and public-sector organisations will empower you to take your skills one step further.

Through DMPD, I have worked on several video projects for major RP events such as Open House and for external clients. Such opportunities have deepened my skills and I am spurred to pursue my passion in video production.
