Teaching and learning must be dynamic, relevant, challengin­g and practical if colleges and universiti­es are to prepare their graduates to succeed in the high speed, rapidly changing competitiv­e world of the creative industries. Raffles Design Institute take this very seriously in terms of delivering their Design programs, and the local and internatio­nal lecturers create rich, topical and enjoyable learning environmen­ts to ensure active participat­ion by the students.
