It was the first tertiary institution in Singapore to offer a full-time Diploma in Mass Communication (MCM). In 1993, the School scored another local first by offering the Diploma in Film, Sound & Video (FSV). Both courses continue to be offered today with the course syllabi having undergone several revamps over the years to align with industry needs and the latest developments. In 2020, the Diplo
ma in Media Post-Production (MPP) was launched following the merger of two diploma courses - the Diploma in Visual Effects and the Diploma in Audio-Visual Technologies. The stellar achievements of our FMS graduates in international competitions, in securing competitive media positions, and in scholastic endeavours have contributed to the high number of applications year after year. Many FMS graduates have become household names and prominent professionals in radio and television production, advertising and public relations, film and video, journalism and across the wider media spectrum. A number of media lecturers in the other polytechnics and overseas universities are also alumni from FMS. While FMS is renowned for its pre-employment diploma courses, it also offers part-time, post-graduate diploma programmes for adult learners. There are two such courses currently being offered - the Specialist Diploma in Digital Branding & Social Media Strategies and the Diploma (Conversion) in Digital Media Design. The School also offers various short courses on topics across the media domain including digital marketing, graphic design, brand storytelling, photography and videography. A recognised name in the Singapore media industry with three decades of heritage, FMS continues to be the leading choice in media education for discerning learners.
