Mission

The diploma in Interactive Media Technology aims to equip students with strong foundation in engineering knowledge; digital media design concepts, interactive 3D visualisation and simulation in the Interactive Digital Media (IDM) industry.

    

About The Course (JAE Code: T49)

Under Singapore’s “Media 21” plan, the government aims to transform the country into a Global Media City that develops and trains professionals in such interactive 3D applications. This course will enable you to tap into this growing market for Interactive Digital Media (IDM) as more companies start to deploy state-of-the-art technoloy to create 3D graphics to market their products or to design and simulate real-lifeeffects in virtual training for maintenance and manufacturing.

Companies in the aerospace, medical and automotive industries, as well as defence weapon manufacturers and architectural design firms are utilising such 3D applications to conceptualise futuristic devices that do not exist currently. Schools and educational institutions are also using 3D modelling and animation tools to teach and illustrate complex concepts.

In this course, you will be equipped to create and use such 3D applications, and to harness innovative technology to create exciting interactive visual simulations.  You will also learn to link them to hardware and software systems.

Career Opportunities

Our graduates will be able to find excellent employment opportunities in the IDM sector, as many of today's leading inductries and institutions are starting to make use of 3D interactive visualisation and simulation solutions for sales and marketing, training, and maintenance. The worldwide digital media market is projected to grow in value from $1.6 trillion today, to $4 trillion by 2015. In Singapore, the government has also set aside $500 million for research & development in IDM over the next five years, creating 10,000 new jobs by 2015. You can establish exciting careers as Interactive 3D visual content developers, interactive media product specialists, 3D simulation developers or virtual training application developers.
