WHY
MAGES
We Are Powering the Next Wave of Creative Technologists
Established in 2010, MAGES Institute is a Private Education Institution in Singapore offering specialised tertiary-level training in the ART and TECHNOLOGY verticals. For more than fourteen years, we have been shaping the next generation of game designers, concept artists, 3D modellers, AR and VR developers, full-stack engineers, and creative technologists.
Recognised internationally, MAGES is ranked among the Top 50 Creative Schools worldwide (The Rookies 2025) and Top 10 Concept Art Schools globally (The Rookies 2025). Our mission is simple: to combine creativity and technology in a way that empowers students to become skilled creators who provide real value to the world.
Building Present Day Wizards
At MAGES, we do more than teach software. We build storytellers, problem solvers, and innovators. Our curriculum is guided by industry relevance and strengthened by research-based thinking. This ensures that students leave with the skills needed to succeed in both creative and technical fields.
We teach strong fundamentals in art and technology while introducing emerging tools, theories, and creative applications. This approach prepares students not only for jobs that exist today, but also for futures they will help create.
Faculty Grounded as Industry & Innovators
Our instructors are active practitioners, educational thinkers, and researchers with backgrounds across AAA game studios, tech start-ups, production houses, and R&D labs.
Students learn from mentors who understand industry expectations and provide guidance that is relevant, practical, and sharply focused on employability. Our faculty includes leaders such as Kingston Chan, formerly from FZD School of Design, and Jeffrey Jiang, CEO of Touch Dimensions Interactive.
Beyond the Classroom: MAGES Studio & Mile 3 Finally
MAGES is not only an education provider. It is a community that believes in creativity with impact.
MAGES Studio, founded by our alumni and faculty, develops applied games, AR and VR experiences, and technology solutions that serve communities and organisations. It demonstrates how creative skills can drive meaningful global change.
We also co-created Mile 3, a creative technology incubator. Mile 3 is where ideas are transformed into real projects through experimentation, teamwork, and innovation.
14 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE & RECOGNITION
To close, we have met creative, bold thinking with a lot of heart to get to where we are today, an adventure that has led to many international recognitions and real-life breakthroughs for students and faculty who contributed positively to the MAGES community. We celebrate every student, staff, faculty, and collaborator who played a role in the MAGES story and welcome you to continue to write exciting chapters with us.
