Undergraduate BA(HONS) | |
Film | Film resembles so many other arts, however it is in itself a unique medium. Film prizes the collaborative process, and the programme sits in a privileged position of being able to tap into the ecosystem of the various arms of an arts college. While doing so, the primary focus of the programme is to nurture its students to find their own voice through the art of cinematic storytelling. |
Fine Arts | This programme situates itself at the crossroads of contemporary Western and Asian cultures, acknowledging the demands of different worldviews. It unites specialised areas, from traditional disciplines to newer art forms, providing wider options of expression relevant to the global evolution of Fine Arts. |
Music | This programme has been developed in response to the demands of a growing creative music industry in Singapore and Southeast Asia for graduates with an enhanced ability, knowledge and diversity of experience in the area of performance, composition and new music technologies |
Musical Theatre | The world of musical theatre is diverse and colourful – with new musical works being brought alive everywhere by performers, directors, choreographers, designers and musicians. |
Product Design | Product design is about people, process, method and meaning. The programme moves away from the traditional notions of the practice where product/industrial designers are seen as form-givers and crafts people of the highest order in Asia, to a realm where the product designer creates from a keen awareness of social, cultural, economic and environmental sensitivities, with a key focus on human behaviour and user experience. |
DIPLOMA | The Diploma is offered as a full time programme over three years and is divided into three levels, which correspond to each academic year of the programme. The academic year is divided into two semesters of thirteen weeks with two additional Assessment Weeks (Week 14 and 15). There will be 120 credits for each year of study and successful Diploma graduates must gain a total of 360 credits points to earn the Diploma. |
Audio Production | The Diploma in Audio Production is a practice-based programme that focuses on all aspects of music production involving the recording studio and sound reinforcement disciplines, including large-scale theatre and multimedia productions in three theatre venues at LASALLE. Through a step-by-step structure of modules and assessments, you will be taken step by step through the fundamentals of audio technologies and working methodologies of audio production. |
Broadcast Media | This programme will successfully prepare you for job roles in fields such as broadcast television, Internet and mobile technology broadcasting, as well as other emerging media formats, such as VR and 360 degree video production. |
Music | Contemporary in focus, the Diploma in Music teaches music that is relevant and valued in today’s culture. The hands-on programme prepares you for entry into the contemporary music industry in Singapore and the region. Over three years, you will develop instrumental or vocal technique, study music theory, sight-reading and aural training, and receive regular performance opportunities. |
Performance | Through the programme, you will develop strategies and skills to interrogate the world and respond meaningfully using contemporary performance forms and applications drawing on both traditional and experimental theatre disciplines. Encompassing the significant rite of passage from apprentice to performer, this dynamic programme will train you to recognise events that have the potential to be explored and developed into performance. |
Theatre Production and Management | This programme equips you for employment in the fast-growing theatre production and management industry. The exciting, practical and diverse curriculum will introduce you to the broad range of subject areas involved in the mounting of theatre and other kinds of live events (e.g. music, corporate and industry shows, cultural events, exhibitions, film and television). You will be given hands-on practice working on LASALLE’s drama, dance, musical theatre and music shows, which are staged in the College’s three fully equipped theatre venues. You will also have opportunities to contribute to film, videos and other forms of displays, exhibitions and events. |
