Putting creativity into action
Diploma of Foundation Studies
The Diploma of Foundation Studies (DFS) programmes equip Secondary 6 graduates with design-related knowledge and skills tailored to their diverse interests. These programmes are designed to meet the needs of students pursuing further studies or career development in design and creative industries.
The typical duration of the DFS is one year, emphasising professional and general skills training to help students realise their potential. DFS graduates can directly articulate to VTC’s Higher Diploma programmes in which they may also apply for module exemptions if they pursue further studies in relevant subject areas.
