DigiPen (Singapore) provides hardware and software that meet the educational requirements for each course of study. While campus facilities are available, students are required to have their own laptop throughout the duration of their study. Owning a laptop gives you the flexibility to complete your work from any location, which may be necessary if you are unable to access campus facilities.
Specific technical and software requirements vary by academic program. BFA in Digital Art and Animation students tend to have the most demanding needs, while requirements for other programs are generally lower. As students progress into higher-level courses, technical demands usually increase.
