About DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore
DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore ("the Institute") is a branch campus of DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, Washington. The Institute opened its doors in 2008 at the invitation of Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB) to help grow the country's interactive digital media industry. In 2010, in a move supported by the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Institute began collaborating with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), now approved as Singapore's fifth public university, to provide pathways for polytechnic graduates to pursue a degree at DigiPen. In 2011, the Institute was granted accreditation by ACCSC as a branch campus of the main college located in Redmond, Washington, USA, and in 2013, the Institute began accepting 'A' level and IB students. DigiPen’s Singapore Campus offers degree programs in video game development, 3D animation, and computer simulation through the Singapore Institute of Technology.
