Despite ongoing economic uncertainties, SIT-DigiPen (Singapore) alumni remain competitive in the job market, with our most recent graduates achieving a median gross monthly salary of $4,900 and an overall employment rate of 80.7% within six months after graduation. These encouraging results come from the latest 2024 Joint Autonomous University Graduate Employment Survey (JAUGES).
Graduates from the BS in Computer Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation (BSCS RTIS) continue to lead the pack and command the highest salaries, with the surveyed cohort earning a median gross monthly salary of $5,150 — up from last year’s $5,000. These graduates bring expertise in low-latency systems development, high throughput, thanks to their parallel processing and computer graphics expertise, all while possessing strong engine development capabilities. This makes them invaluable in industries requiring sophisticated simulations and interactive computing — such as high frequency trading, autonomous vehicles, and digital twins — where their ability to create and manage real-time systems provides significant competitive advantages.
Those from the BS in Computer Science in Interactive Media and Game Development program maintained their competitive salary performance with a median gross monthly salary of $4,900. These graduates possess a unique combination of interactive software development and design expertise, making them versatile professionals fluent in both C/C++ programming and UI/UX design principles. This blend of technical and creative capabilities positions them well as software engineers, technical designers, and systems developers across various technology sectors and beyond.
Graduates from the BEng in Systems Engineering (ElectroMechanical Systems) program achieved a median gross monthly salary of $4,800 and a strong overall employment rate of 90.9%. These multidisciplinary engineers bring together expertise spanning computer, mechanical, electrical, and electronics engineering, enabling them to design and manage complex integrated systems. Their comprehensive skill set makes them particularly valuable in robotics, manufacturing, and automation industries, where the ability to seamlessly bridge hardware and software systems is crucial.
BA in User Experience and Game Design graduates enjoyed the largest increase in their median gross monthly salaries at $3,900, compared to the previous year’s $3,600. These graduates bring deep knowledge across multiple design disciplines, including game design and UI/UX, combined with C# programming skills. Their ability to rapidly prototype, conduct iterative design, and manage end-to-end projects makes them valuable contributors to any industry looking to digitalize and enhance user experience of their products.
Likewise, graduates in the BFA in Digital Art and Animation program enjoyed a median gross monthly salary of $3,350 — an increase from last year’s $3,200. The program’s emphasis on strong artistic fundamentals combined with technical proficiencies in scripting languages like Python enables graduates to excel not just as creative professionals, but also as those who can effectively manage workflows, teams, and complex production pipelines across a global marketplace.
These results reinforce SIT-DigiPen (Singapore)’s position as a specialized institution preparing graduates for the digital economy. We continue to train our graduates to be systems developers, thanks to their mastery of strong technical fundamentals, combined with their course-specific specialties that align with industry needs. As we look to the future, we remain committed to graduating skilled and creative problem-solvers.
