1 Year Full-Time Diploma (12 months) - Diploma in Industrial Design This 1 year diploma program is divided into 3 terms. Each term runs for 15 weeks with a 2 weeks break in between. Our courses are specifically designed to work simultaneously and build on top of the student’s abilities. Advanced courses utilize the knowledge students obtained from the previous term and expand them.
Every course fits in tightly with the demands of today’s entertainment industry. These courses cover a broad range of topics from basic fundamental understanding to advanced design and rendering techniques. Students will graduate with a vast array of professional skills and an industry ready portfolio.
Full-Time Advance Diploma (8 months) - Advance Diploma in Entertainment Design The Advanced Diploma Program extends the FZD core training by an additional eight months. Students will use this extra time to build project-oriented portfolios while further enhancing their design skills. In addition, students enrolled in this program can attend any of the previous classes offered through the 1-year diploma track. These courses are also largely independent of schedules and deadlines; allowing individual students to develop and manage their own workflow and production pipeline.
During the latter half of this program, students will be assigned real-world projects and have their final presentations critiqued live by working professionals from the entertainment industry.
The goal of the Advanced Diploma Program is to give dedicated students the opportunity to build a much higher caliber portfolio; greatly increasing their chances of entering top-tier game and film studios.
*In order to enroll, students must first complete the 1-year Diploma in Industrial Design at FZD.
