Giving you that something xtra
About the Diploma
Fascinated by the iPhone’s sleek and attractive design, and innovative touch screen function? Wonder what will be the next big thing that will take the world by storm? With the Diploma in Product Design & Innovation (PDI), you might just be the creator of the next big thing!
In PDI, you will learn all about creating products that look good, work well and sell well. With its emphasis on the integral design approach, PDI addresses the entire lifecycle of a product – how it is designed, manufactured, marketed and sold, serviced and repaired, and eventually retired. You will gain a strong foundation in three major aspects – product design, engineering and business – through modules on engineering design, industrial design, business and marketing. PDI’s balanced curriculum gives you a key advantage over conventional product design or industrial design courses.
Fine-tune your skills through a local or an overseas internship of up to three months, with industry players such as Singapore Mint, XentiQ, Promode Design, ST Kinetics, and overseas institution such as Jiangnan University in China. You will also work on two major design projects which ensure that you graduate with an innovative design portfolio, complete with a working prototype and business plan.
Let your creativity flow! Join the Diploma in Product Design & Innovation and create your own fascinating products.
Career Prospects
Singapore is increasingly the regional headquarters for many high-technology product design and manufacturing supply chains. Companies such as BMW and Philips Electronics have set up design, research & development and innovation centres here.
