With the first classes starting in October 2009, a collaborative effort between DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore, Ubisoft Singapore and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) will provide future game developers with an opportunity to obtain specialized education taught by DigiPen at its Singapore campus.
With tuition fees subsidized by the WDA under the Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience (SPUR), qualified students will be taught by DigiPen Singapore in three full-time Professional Conversion Programs (PCPs) in Game Programming, Game Art (environment modeling or character animation), and Game Design. Personnel from Ubisoft Singapore will guide the students in the game production process.
