Game Design - Diploma

The rapidity of technological advancements in the fast-paced digital entertainment industry plays an important part of the changing scene of visual communication, including design disciplines such as animation and video game design. Recognising the need to keep pace with the rapidly evolving design environment, the Diploma in Animation & Game Design programme aims to provide students with an industry-focused learning platform to establish a solid foundation in animation and game media design.

The curriculum of the programme will be delivered in a mix of teaching strategies ranging from lectures and seminars to tutorials and technical demonstrations. Complemented with a comprehensive assessment framework, the pedagogic approach of the programme provides students with a positive learning experience that meets the intended learning objectives and outcomes.

Through practical-based modules in the programme, students will be introduced to a wide range of design concepts and creative problem-solving techniques involving strategic application of motion elements and animation principles. On top of that, students are highly encouraged to focus on skill development in areas such as creative thinking, critical reflection, and project management.

Towards the end of the programme, students will be well-equipped with the necessary skill sets to progress to the advanced level of their choice of specialization — Advanced Diploma in Animation Design or Advanced Diploma in Video Game Design.
