About the Diploma
If you aspire to be an award-winning filmmaker, our Diploma in Film, Sound & Video (FSV) will help you bring your ‘reel’ dreams to life.
At Singapore’s first and most established filmmaking course, you can be assured of an excellent foundation in the artistic and technical elements of filmmaking and video production.
You will develop and sharpen your skills as a producer, writer, director, cinematographer or editor.
At FSV, we provide the “lights and camera”.
Your role is “Action!”
Career Prospects
Exciting career opportunities beckon upon graduation with an FSV Diploma. You can choose to work in film and video production, cinematography, computer animation, postproduction, sound design and recording, or scriptwriting. Or you can be entrepreneurial and set up your own production company. The very successful Oak 3 Films, started by our alumni Jason Lai and Zaihirat Banu, is one such example. Alternatively, you may want to make your mark as an independent filmmaker.
Further Studies
With your FSV Diploma, you may be given advanced standing at recognised film and media schools, both locally and overseas. Many of our FSV graduates have been awarded scholarships and bursaries by the National Arts Council, the Singapore Film Commission and the Media Development Authority of Singapore to study locally (NUS or NTU) or in Australia, Canada and the United States. In the past two years, some of our top FSV graduates have even been awarded scholarships by foreign institutions like Stanford University (USA), the National Film & Television School (United Kingdom), the Victorian College of the Arts (Australia) and local institutions such as the NUS and NTU. Alumnus Anthony Chen is reading his Masters in London on scholarship, bypassing a basic degree on the strength of his success at Cannes. Alternatively, you can pursue an American degree here at Ngee Ann Polytechnic for the cost of a local university degree. FSV graduates qualify for a two-year advanced standing at top-ranked US film school, Chapman University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Producing. They take an accelerated, two-year programme designed by film and media practitioners in Hollywood. Delivered in Singapore, it includes an optional immersion at Chapman University’s Orange County campus in California.
