Diploma In Experience And Product Design

Course details

The future is in products and services that project an 'experience' beyond what they are – one that goes beyond form and function but also delivers an experience that engages, enlightens, and creates enjoyment. That's where a product finds its meaning.

Such is the approach taken by the Diploma in Experience and Product Design (DXPD) course. We aim to ignite the spark of genius in you, producing Experience and Product Designers that will create 'moments' of engagement between users and objects. You will be exposed to the many facets of experience design from the edible to the intangible; from spaces to services; from the user research to the designed solution.

Course Highlights

DXPD partners and works with various renowned companies and organisations on design projects, developing novel, innovative and relevant experiences. Companies and organisations would include: DBS Bank, OCBC, P&G, DEL MONTE, SYMANTEC, HEWLETT PACKARD, URA, NEA, etc.

International opportunities to exhibit your work in venues such as the prestigious Salone Satellite in Milan and Maison'd Objet, Paris. Beyond that, students' works gain exposure at prominent local design fairs as well!
