opportunities to upgrade their knowledge
to meet the ever-changing demands of
the building and construction industry.
Suitable for professionals and industry
practitioners, the course curriculum is
geared towards high-level specialised
knowledge and skill sets needed in
todays increasingly complex built
environment.
With their industry-oriented curriculums,
these programmes will engage you in
real-world training that enhances your
work experience and knowledge, while
enabling you to gain in-depth insight and
skills in your area of specialisation. With
the exception of the Specialist Diploma
in Building Information Modelling which
is a 5-month part-time programme, the
other specialist diplomas are offered as
9-month part-time programmes.

SPECIALIST DIPLOMA IN
INTERIOR &
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Interior and landscape design is about exploring space within a
building and outside the building. And with design disciplines merging
across the board, aspiring interior and landscape architects will have
to take inspiration from architecture, landscape, product, graphic art
and visual culture to perceive space, while considering wider issues
such as the environment, functions and form.
The Specialist Diploma in Interior & Landscape Design is structured
to equip you with the knowledge of principles and theories in interior
and landscape design, and how they are applied in real life. From idea
conception to planning and creating interior and exterior spaces, you
will explore new technologies to improve your design solutions and
gain critical knowledge of building and material science to understand
the behavioral, social and physical requirements of design in the built
environment.
Upon graduation, you will qualify to work as technical specialists in the
interior and landscape design industry.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, the participants
would have built a solid knowledge-base in the
many facets of an interior design project, from
planning and design to implementation. They
would have grasped the general concepts and
methodology, acquired the basic vocabulary &
typology of interior and landscape design. They
would also possess proper methods of detailing
with sufcient knowledge in building science &
materials to meet behavioural, social & physical
requirements of design in the built environment.

there is now a critical need for professionals that are procient in energy
management to operate buildings for optimal building performance.
The Specialist Diploma in Facility & Energy Management equips you
with essential knowledge to plan and manage building operations
and maintenance efciently. The programme also incorporates Energy
Management modules to give you the added competitive edge.
Upon graduation, you can work effectively as facility management
executives in management corporations, building maintenance and
building refurbishment rms or be technical specialists in energy
service companies.

SPECIALIST DIPLOMA IN
BUILDING COST
MANAGEMENT
The design and construction of building projects is a highly complex
and demanding process, especially with the increased sophistication
of the various disciplines involved, such as architecture, surveying,
construction and engineering. Delivering a project of such complexity
within the right budget, quality and time-scale is critical in meeting
clients expectations. Building cost management provides owners,
developers, architects and contractors the highest degree of cost
predictability over the life cycle of a building with the use of cost
modelling and management techniques.
The Specialist Diploma in Building Cost Management prepares you
to manage construction cost planning and control right from project
inception to the disposal phase of a building. It provides you an
opportunity to gain industry-specic skills and experience in cost
estimates and analysis, budget forecasts, facilities planning, conceptual
studies and bid comparisons for the design and construction of property.
The curriculum also covers capital and operating cost assessment skills
and project control decisions.
Upon graduation, you can nd career opportunities as quantity surveyors
or cost managers in Singapores booming construction industry.
