The Advanced Diploma in Product Design programme at Raffles College of Higher Education encourages creativity in the design of commercially viable and ecologically friendly products – through conceptualization, innovation, originality, technical skills, and professionalism at all levels. Close ties with industry also give the student a strong sense of ‘reality’ and realization of career prospects for the future.
Students will experience a broad-based, diagnostic curriculum – grasping investigational, analytical and problem solving design skills through a project based, modular system – which also encourages the investigation and understanding of varying materials, introduced to the creative process, with emphasis on applications in Product Design. Concurrently, students will explore design and cultural issues, as well as use 2D and 3D software applications for Product Design.

Bachelor of Arts in Product Design (Class of 2020)
Ivana ELVIANY
Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Honours in a short period of three years is not an easy feat. At Raffles, there is not a day without submissions and deadlines for each progression. Despite the numerous deadlines, everything did not feel too oppressive because of the learning environment. All these experiences I got only at Raffles.
