The programs allow students with a relevant diploma to enter the final year of a UK bachelor's degree, graduate with an internationally recognised qualification, and complete their studies entirely in Singapore.
Students can choose from two pathways:
- BA (Hons) Computer Arts Top-Up - designed for graduates in Concept Art, 3D Modelling, Game Art, and related creative disciplines.
- BSc (Hons) Computer Game Applications Development Top-Up - suited for students with a technical or programming background.
The programs follow a Stage 3 Direct Entry pathway. Eligible students first complete a 9-month Advanced Diploma at MAGES before progressing to the 12-month full-time Top-Up year, subject to meeting entry requirements.
"Many students already have the technical skills and creative foundation to succeed, but they shouldn't have to spend another three or four years earning a bachelor's degree. Our partnership with Abertay University provides a direct pathway to a globally recognised UK qualification while studying in Singapore, helping graduates save time, reduce costs, and enter the creative technology industry sooner."
– Ravi, CEO, MAGES Institute of Excellence
Applicants must be at least 18 years old, hold a relevant diploma or equivalent qualification, and meet the English language requirement of IELTS 6.0 (or equivalent). The programs are delivered full-time at MAGES' Orchard Road campus in Singapore.
Graduates are prepared for careers such as Concept Artist, 3D Modeler, Game Designer, Technical Artist, Game Programmer, Serious Games Designer, and UI/UX Designer.
Applications are now open for the September 2026 and February 2027 intakes.
MAGES Institute of Excellence is ranked among The Rookies' Top 50 Creative Schools Worldwide and Top 10 globally for Concept Art (2025). The institute is EduTrust-certified by Singapore's Committee for Private Education and is an Official Unreal Engine Academic Partner.
