What You Will Learn

Dynamic and inventive storytelling starts here.
Be bold and transform your projects into world-class content with the Diploma in Media Production & Design (DMPD). DMPD will equip you with highly relevant and sought-after skills in graphic design, social media marketing and broadcast production.

You will also gain first-hand experience on immersive and emerging technologies such as AR/VR and 360-degree video production.

The course takes you beyond the classroom and into the exciting world of opportunities with production companies, advertising and creative agencies as well as public sector organisations, moulding you into a career-ready graduate.





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.
