REDISCOVER THE MADNESS
IN YOU,
START SOMETHING ON THE SIDE.
With the changes brought by the ongoing pandemic and disruption of emerging technology, there is no guarantee that you will still hold on to the same job when next year comes.
There is no better time to acquire a new skill that you can use to start something on the side with the rise of the gig economy.
Choose from one of the three top gigs that companies are looking for freelancers everywhere: design, photography, and digital marketing.
ADVERTISING & UIUX DESIGN BASED DIPLOMA
From Graphic Design to UI/UX Design, find a course that will not only enable you to start a sideline, but also to add value to your current role in your day job.
With a full diploma, you can even consider a career switch at the end of the day.
POSTGRADUATE/ DIPLOMA IN DIGITAL MARKETING
One of the most sought-after skills in the gig economy, acquiring the skill of Digital Marketing will not only enable you to get gigs easily but also helps to accelerate your career if you are in sales, marketing, or business development.
Diploma in Professional Photography
With the emergence of e-commerce, one of the most common problems faced by SME is the lack of good quality photos of their new products.
In the current climate where purchasing decisions are being made online more often than not, there is a big demand for content creators by companies, big and small alike.
AWARDS WON BY OUR
STUDENTS
LECTURERS
Being industry players, active in their respective fields, our lecturers stay abreast with their fast-evolving industries and impart their most up-to-date knowledge to students. Featuring an array of award winners, from recipients of internationally acclaimed creative awards to honorable media accolades, our lecturers are well- versed in the do’s and don’ts in winning awards, and use only such lofty standards as benchmarks for their teaching.

MadGlobal subscribes to that, connecting us to the matrix of The globalized world. It’s an independent entity armed with an altruistic vision of exposing students all over the world to all things creative, sans geographical boundaries.

AWARDS-LAB
At Awards Lab, everyone’s a winner! Even without bagging an award. It’s a boiler room where students are subject to the rigours of agency environment. And the demands of producing award-winning work.
Did we also mention that we have been the consecutive title holder of the top non-government funded design school in Singapore for the past few years?
Awards or not, walk away with a winning portfolio.

That is why all our modules are projects based, allowing you to train on your newly acquired skills while building a strong portfolio for yourself.
Doing what you enjoy to pass your modules; if that sounds good to you, then you are the right fit for our school.
