Their commitment to impart their knowledge and skills to our students, also of different nationalities, creates an environment which is rich in creativity and innovation. This conducive learning environment will broaden students’ perspectives, enhance adaptability and enrich their personal growth.

At Raffles Design Institute, our students’ success is our success. Therefore, we initiated the Centre of Professional Development (CPD) department who solely focus on working with students to assimilate to the industry through:

• Projects
• Industrial Attachment
• Industry Reasearch
• Career and Professional Development

We prepare our students with professional development skills and provide resources in support of their careers. By forging an extensive strategic alliance with the industry, our team at CPD provide a seamless interface between industries and our students, opening a world of career opportunities for them.

In addition, Raffles Design Institute has the benefit of strong industry input to inject the latest industry practice and know-how into its curriculum and pedagogy. As a result of this close collaboration, our graduates are industry-ready and can contribute immediately to their employers.

With the intricate knowledge of the industry, we are able to maximise our training to ensure a constant flow of competent professionals into the industry. In addition, our graduates are able to find jobs of their choice. In this way, we fulfill the career goal of our graduates and cater to the needs of the industry.

At Raffles, we believe experience is the key to maximising one’s fulfilment in life. To achieve this objective, we infuse our fast-track education with strong practical skills to build experience and cultivate innovation.

The programmes at Raffles are designed to incubate creative professionals and entrepreneurs in the design, business, psychology and infocomm security disciplines.

Taught by an international team of professionals, students are equipped with industry-relevant skills and the ability to interact with people of diverse cultures and nationalities, so that they may achieve career excellence at a faster rate.

Another important reason for the Raffles’ shorter course duration is our belief that an intense time span for studies cultivates passion and an industry-ready mindset. Completing your studies ahead of your peers presents you with more opportunities in the industry and propels your career forward.

Through our intensive curriculum, we arm students with creative abilities and practical problem-solving skills. We groom graduates who are not only team players but also independent-minded to pursue their passion.

This is the advantage of learning at Raffles.
