MAGES Institute of Excellence is a Private Education Institution providing high quality tertiary level coaching in the rapidly developing Media, Animation and Gaming Industries. Keen expertise from lecturers who are industry professionals provides students the niche skill-sets required for success within the highly competitive creative technology industries.
With the diverse options of specialisations and opportunities to develop a comprehensive portfolio, students are well-equipped with the competencies required to become the leading game designers, animators and creative technology experts of tomorrow.
The class size at MAGES is smaller than other institutes, which gives me better opportunity to interact with my teacher and classmates. Also, the hands on approach keeps my attention and interest much easier. The staff is also very attentive & helpful. Overall, Mages delivered on their promise to support my education.
I had no experience in coding or creating games, but within a year, I can see myself creating games which is an amazing achievement. The class size is very small, with an average of 10 students, which is very cool. Most lecturers are not just teachers but experienced Industry Professional, so although I ask many questions, they never hesitate to answer any of my questions.
MAGES is affiliated with two world-renowned universities. Students are provided with the option to continue to a degree pathway to gain not only a world-class education but also a global perspective as they make progress as competent media professionals.
At MAGES, we have an active social calendar over the year to ensure that our students are provided a platform to showcase their work and abilities both locally and around the region. We provide opportunities to engage directly with renowned industry professionals and audiences through workshops, conventions and school-organised events.
A Play Testing night where our Students took the guests through the most addictive, exciting and mind-bending Games - all created by the budding geniuses at MAGES. It was a remarkable experience for our students as they presented their exhilarating games and immersive AR/VR Applications to industry practitioners, MAGES Staff and the families & friends of MAGES Students.
An annual students’ showcase organised by MAGES. All our stakeholders are invited to participate and experience the work created by talented MAGES students. From industry practitioners, to AAA Game studios and of course the families and loved ones of MAGES Students and Faculty come down on this special day to appreciate a year’s work of Games, Art, Films and AR/VR Applications created by our students. The event also works as a platform for our students to get noticed by leading players in the Creative Tech industry and be scouted for bright careers ahead.
A vibrant cosmopolitan city in the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore offers a great environment for students looking for a multi-cultural experience studying abroad, known for its melting pot of cultures. In addition to its world-renowned education system, this city is also home to a thriving business environment with over 7000 MNCs having offices here, providing numerous opportunities for our students.
This is the first time I am leaving outside Vietnam and it is a great experience. The Culture is not very different. One thing I like a lot about Singapore is the cleanliness and the regular hygiene that people maintain. Safety is also my favourite point; there are cameras everywhere so the crime rate is very low. Also, Singapore is extremely thoughtful about the pedestrians; there are fences & shelters everywhere. Food is extremely diverse in terms of culture as well as price and it is a place of events – with some festival being organized every week.

The lecturers are always happy to help anytime during the day. They even come to school on Sunday. Due to low Student -to - Lecturer ratio, they can use a different approach for each student, based on what works best for each of us.
The project-driven environment made me ready to work in a company and made me familiar with real life projects and challenges. Now, I feel that I am ready to be a part of the Industry.
The best thing about MAGES is that the lecturers start the course from foundation, so it was quite easy for me to pick up as I had no prior knowledge of Programming
Our lecturers were all Industry Professionals, so all modules were Industry relevant. Also, during my internship with MAGES Studio, I had the opportunity to learn from a senior staff , which greatly improved my programming skills.
