Institutes of higher learning expand industry partnerships to prepare students for tech-driven media landscape
At Nanyang Technological University’s School of Art, Design and Media, both local and global partnerships have been ramped up by 50 per cent since 2024.
These collaborations give students more opportunities in areas such as tech, game design and social media.
While AI and digital tools form part of the curriculum, the school said it ensures the arts remain centre stage.
“The artistic foundation remains central … because if you don't have this foundation, you would later on really struggle to identify the good solutions between many a tool like generative AI would offer, and you would be quite lost,” said Professor Hans-Martin Rall, chair of NTU’s School of Art, Design and Media.
