Mission & Strategy
Our mission at the School of Film & Media Studies (FMS), Ngee Ann Polytechnic, is to provide our students with a rich and total learning experience and to enable them to excel in the global and dynamic film and media industry.
The FMS learning experience hinges on the application of theoretical and practical knowledge. It encourages individual students to develop their passion, learn how to persevere, find their niche, and strive for excellence in the applied-media arts.
Experiential learning through industry placements and group projects allow students to not only express themselves on a personal level but also professionally. Students also learn leadership and teamwork skills, and develop regional and international perspectives.
We believe outstanding talents that will raise the bar for the industry are characterised by the 4Ps –
Passion, Professionalism, Perseverance and outstanding Portfolios.
