Common Arts, Media & Design Programme (R65)

Common Arts, Media and Design Programme

What You Will Learn

Discover your creative spark with our Common Arts, Media & Design Programme (CAP).

Dive into the worlds of art, design, and media while exploring storytelling, drawing, and digital content creation. You will also gain first-hand experiences of the different creative disciplines to discover your interests and strengths. This will help you make an informed choice on the diploma to specialise in at the end of your first year.

While passionate about the media industry, I was unsure which specific area to focus on. Fortunately, I chanced upon this course which introduced me to various STA diplomas in my first year. This experience helped me make a more informed choice for my subsequent years.
