Gear up to take on the exciting digital era by storm

FINALLY, you can gain a USA education in cutting-edge computer science and game development without the high costs of studying overseas.

“We have seen the multibillion-dollar gaming industry evolve from arcades to consoles to PCs and smartphones in just a matter of decades.

“However, it does not just stop there. In this ever-evolving industry, we are now being introduced to a whole new world to venture into, the Metaverse!” said The One Academy.

Ushering in a new era of digital connectivity, the Metaverse is an integrated network of 3D virtual worlds where people can interact in real-time and engage in a seemingly unlimited variety of virtual experiences across distance, all supported with its own digital economy.

Though still in its early stage, it is just a matter of time until the world will see to its massive adaptation.

With 5G networks rolling out and 6G scheduled to arrive in the future, trending technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, cloud computing, blockchain and extended reality (XR) – an umbrella term used to describe immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) that merge the physical and virtual worlds, may coincide to power the metaverse.

These technologies are shaping the future of gaming as we know it. Consumers are eyeing towards newer experiences and more immersive entertainment.

As the gaming platforms evolve, the process of creating and designing them have gotten more complex, increasing opportunities to further expand the gaming market.

It is a dream come true for game players as they now have a platform with no limitations and plenty of room for experimentation to create a user experience like never before.

“Computer science and game enthusiasts look no further, because here comes the chance for you to pursue an education in what you love!” it said.

The One Academy has partnered with DigiPen Institute of Technology USA – the first in the world to offer a bachelor’s degree in video game development, to bring exceptional Game Design & Computer Science programmes to Malaysia.

At present, DigiPen The One Academy offers students Diploma in Game Design, Diploma in Computer Science, Bachelor of Arts in Game Design, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Game Design, and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in RealTime Interactive Simulation.

These programmes are fully managed and taught by professional instructors from DigiPen’s international campuses and mirroring their syllabus.

By utilising game design as a teaching medium, it not only makes learning fun and interesting, but also facilitates the knowledge of cutting-edge computer science technology, allowing graduates to pursue a future in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and design.

This collaboration with DigiPen brings it to the next level by completing the nation’s game industry chain.

From IP and game design, computer engineering and game development to production, we will now be able to do it all.

“Malaysia will now have a chance to build up its own cross-border games market and become a world-class game developer,” said The One Academy.

With the constant evolution of technology, you will be more than prepared and equipped to take on this digital era.

Students interested in pursuing an education in the fields mentioned above are invited to get in touch with DigiPen The One Academy to find out more about these exciting new programmes. These courses are set to commence in September 2022.

DigiPen The One Academy is the collaborative effort between The One Academy – ranked the World’s No.1 Game Art Academy by The Rookies International, and DigiPen Institute of Technology USA – the first school in the world to offer a bachelor’s degree in video game development, to provide comprehensive high-quality diploma and degree education.

Choose from Diploma in Game Design, Diploma in Computer Science, Bachelor of Arts in Game Design, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Game Design, and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in Real-Time Simulation.
